Some of the newer ones come with a black tank flush,a really nice thing to have.
I installed a Quickie Flush in my Class C and it was one of the best Mods I have done, and pretty simple.
I picked the Quickie Flush over the Tornado because of the high failure rate of the swivel part. A few of my friends had them fail and it leaves it useless in the tank.
The only thing that I changed is where the hose connects up with the flusher I put a 90 Degree Elbow in it to reduce the strain on the hose and make it closer to the tank.
It looks like this when finished, with a quick disconnect on the end.
Don't get discouraged if it leaks at the hose connections at first they are sometimes hard to get tight. Tightened mine up and have had no leaks anywhere.
Another suggestion is to make a test hole in a piece of wood or something and test fit the device to the hole. I found that the hole size suggested was much larger than needed.
Good Luck.

House batteries under the side steps makes it very convenient for access.
cgmartines post reminded of something,along with other things that he mentioned was that a lot of Tiogas like mine,in the years before and after,came with a BIRD in the battery compartment, a Bi Directional Isolator Relay Delay,it's that small black box bottom center,click on the picture to get a bigger view.
It operates by sensing the voltages on both batteries.
When either of these voltages exceeds 13.3 volts for
approximately 1 minute, which happens when either battery
is being charged, the control will close the isolator solenoid,
connecting the two batteries together, charging them both.
(Normal charging voltages are from approximately 13.8 to
14.4 volts.)
After the solenoid has been closed, the system continues to
sense the voltage. If the ignition switch is off and the battery
voltage drops below 12.8 volts for approximately 1 minute,
which might occur when the converter is heavily loaded,
the solenoid is opened to prevent the chassis battery from
being discharged by the coach loads. When the voltage goes
above 13.3 volts again for approximately 1 minute, the solenoid
closes again. Thus always keeping the Coach as well as Chassis battery charged. Regardless of the parasitic draws on the chassis battery that run it down while sitting unused.
