I would really rather not travel with contents in the black and grey tanks (beyond the couple gallons of water and treatment).
I do have a black tank flush, so I was thinking I could use that after I dump to get everything out.
Cant blame ya. At the same time dont let it drive you nuts. That's a lot of work to empty the black tank before you move the RV each time.
Just know there are thousands of people with nasty stuff sloshing around the black tank as they drive down the road. Keep your toilet bowl seal clean and you shouldnt have any problem with odors.
You have a black tank flush and I'm guessing those things shoot every direction and would clean the top of the tank?
My dump station has lost its abilities to take on volume. So I dump smaller amounts more often. With a clear adapter and a black tank flush you can see when the water is running clean. You dont need to have 10 gallons of pre water. Also dont want it dry. Black tank flush allows you to use less pre water if the situation requires it.
