Don't forget to get a clear elbow to see how your flushing is doing when dumping the black tank.

Why? I don't have a clear tube on the toilet in my house. I don't have an underground pit and clear pipe on the house drain line going to my septic.
Clear hoses/elbows are just marketing hype.

Wrong. Comparing your RV toilet and tank to your house is completely different set of circumstances. Not even apples to oranges IMO. The clear elbow allows you to actually see when the water is running clear and that solids and tissues are flushed from the tank. Now I'm not saying they are mandatory by any means. But, to say they are just hype is completely wrong and not true. They work and serve a very valuable purpose. Personally, I wouldn't be without one.

Agree. I don't understand the comparison to a septic system at all. The clear elbow is nice so you don't have to guess at what's going through the tube.

I never suggested that the systems are the same, but the concept is. The key is to have plenty of water in the blank tank. When I pull the valve, it comes flowing out. I don't care (nor does it matter) if every drop and tittle of ooeey gooeey stuff comes out. And since I don't have a camera in the black tank, I couldn't verify it even if I had a clear elbow. I don't have a flushing system, so the water won't run clear anyway.

The marketing of RV products sure is interesting. All CW has to do is put it on an end cap with a bright sign and people will gobble it up.
