Waste Valve Always CLOSED or Always OPEN?
Research, Previous Owner, & 1 or 2 RV Owner's I happened to ask: Conclude and Advise me to ALWAYS LEAVE WASTE TANK CLOSED till she fills so the Tank can build Gravity for BOTH the dirty waste and semi-dissolved black waste to ALL exit the tank and force of gravity to force down the sewage line and into the waste station. So........once a week every Sunday I Empty my Waste/Black Tank.
And for my Grey 1 (bathroom sink & shower) and Grey 2 (kitchen sink) I ALWAYS LEAVE THEM OPEN, period.
I've been helping a fellow RV Elder here in the Campground with changing out his propane tanks. And I happened to ask him who is helping him pull the Waste Valve every week or so? He said What???? So I explained the above, and he called it B.S. Told me as long as I have a slope/pitch on the sewer line I am fine and to LEAVE MY WASTE VALVE OPEN ALL THE TIME!
He is an older gentleman and has been RV'ing for some 5 decades he tells me, i.e. why he calls what I am doing B.S. He has a 5th, but very older model (if that has anything at all to with it, but I tend to believe not or ?).
Ok folks, the Voting Machines are now open and THANK YOU TO ALL IN ADVANCE, as I'm a full-time RV'er now entering cold Winter on the East Coast! So am I going outside every Sunday like a dope or am I going outside like a smart RV'er taking care of his Coach so NO waste build-up occurs in my Tank, possibly hardens n hardens n hardens and suddenly no room for waste and then a back-up into the Coach Toilet Floor...Yikes!!!
