To be fair,the original "recipe" for the ice cube method includes powdered water softener and warm water to loosen up any hard deposits and paper in the tank.Let this mixture stand overnight then add about 20 lbs. of ice before you leave for the campground.Upon arrival,head to the dump site before you set up.
Agree with this post. Our black tank monitor showed full all the time. Leaving a campground that had about 10 miles of curves and stop and go traffic I tried the ice only method. Results: for the next couple of trips the monitor showed correct or at least not all full all the time. Did NOT have to drive aggressively, just drive normally and let the curvy mountain road take care of the tank.
Full disclosure I tried it again after the monitor showed all full all the time but the road was nearly arrow straight and what few turns we made were not sufficient to get the ice berg to move around enough.
Have a couple issues with this video. 1) small tank, 2)in the bed of the truck, 3) not enough ice. Don't believe that tank gets enough sloshing around in the back of the truck.
