Three quick tips for newbies:
1) Use plenty of water when flushing the toilet and make sure everyone knows that only human waste, water, and toilet paper go in there (no other form of trash). This tip is to avoid a poop pyramid.
2) Only open the dump valves while you are actively dumping. Black first, then gray. You need contents to build up in the tanks to help everything out.
3) Install an Oxygenics shower head.
Bonus tips:
A) Expect the black tank gauge to be inaccurate (always reads high).
B) If you have hook-ups and multiple people will be showering, use both electric and propane to heat your water.
