I will NEVER understand the obsession that many people have re: the relative "cleanliness" of their RV sewage systems. Seriously?
We have been 24/7, 365 RV'ers for 13 years in 2 different rigs. We have followed the same weekly routine for nearly all of that time. Black tank stays closed for the week. Grey tank(s) closed 2 days before the end of the week. On D day, black tank goes 1st followed by the grey. Entire procedure takes about 5 minutes unless we have to go to a dump station. Never a clog. Never a backup. Never the seemingly dreaded "pyramid o' poop". Never any odors inside the rig. When we disconnect it, does our hose smell like lilacs and roses? No, because it's a freakin' SEWER hose!
The stink will make it's way around to where you are. If you don't have a flushing system then leave the fresh water connected to thee plumbing and open the faucets in the kitchen sink and bathroom basin. Let it fill the gray tank and add some lemony fresh gray water stuff from CW. Pull the gray valve again and whalla or something, it will clean out the sewer hose. :) Takes a bit
Yes, it takes too much time and WAY too much water. I don't need a CLEAN sewer hose! You don't either! Or perhaps, sadly, you do. :S
