RV 101® – How To Use RV Black and Gray Water Holding Tanks – New RV Training



How does a travel trailer and motorhome black water holding tank work? Preventive maintenance on RV holding tanks is not only about maintaining the tanks, it’s also about properly using the holding tanks, primarily the RV black water holding tank. In this RV how to walk through video, host Mark Polk demonstrates the proper care and use of the RV holding tanks.

THE RV LEARNING CURVE by Mark Polk: You purchase an RV, and the day finally comes when you take delivery of the RV from the dealership. You are excited, and just want to take the RV home. The dealership gives you a walk-through orientation of the RV, explaining how everything on the RV works. You listen and watch, but it is too much information to process in a short period of time. Now you are home with the RV, and you cannot remember 80-percent of what was covered during the walk-through. One week later, you remember even less.

  • With how many American lives in the shitter, I have a feeling more of us will live in RVs in the coming years. Your channel will be vital.

  • Been watching videos on YouTube for weeks while getting ready for our 1st trip. This by far is the best video I've seen on this topic hands down. Very informative, easy to follow. well done friend

  • Ok so I get that your supposed to fill up the toilet bowl and flush it four times at least to cover the bottom of the black water tank after dumping it. But how much water do you run down the sink for the gray water tank exactly? I have been searching all day online for the answer and I have no idea. Please help!? The RV I live in is my first home and RV I ever lived in so I am quite the noob. I didn’t even know until very recently that you have to have lots of water in the toilet before flushing it and that you can fill it with the flush valve.

  • Very well done video. It should be very helpful to RVers.

  • I have tried many RV Black Tank Treatments from probably all the manufacturers out there. Most of them don't work real well and only are an ODOR preventer, rather than a DIGESTER.

    I had used a product called "Happy Camper" for a few years, but found that it doesn't work well in cold weather or when the RV sits for along time.

    I am now using a product by UNIQUE Camping and Marine. I prefer the liquid version and it works extremely well. It is an enzyme based product and as long as there is some form of bacteria in the Black Tank (there always is), this product works around the clock devouring the waste in the tank. It breaks down Toilet paper easily too. Helps to eliminate Tank Odors as well. And you can use it in the grey tanks too.

    This is the Best Product on the market!

    Happy Camping!

  • I get very impatient preparing my black tank with the toilet water and started using the flush to add some water to the tank. Is this ok? I do calculate how much water I’m adding and treat it.

  • Wonder why 1 person has given the video a thumbs down…

  • Thank you so much for sharing ALL your very valuable information with us! I appreciate you so much. I’m always looking forward for your next update.

  • We’ve used one ply toilet paper any brand for years, never a problem. I dump dishwasher gel in the sinks and toilet. RV geeks do!

  • Love your videos, thanks. Very informative.

  • I am so grateful for your channel and website. I've learned just about everything I know about RV's from you.
