  • I wanted to know about the black and grey tank, during the season when its not being used for a few days, weeks, should there be some water in the black tank? Just wondering if "stuff" is in there (even after multiple tank flushes) there could still be some remnants. is it best to have water + enzymes to break it down further and also prevent it from drying up? I completely drained it at the site and flushed it 5 or so times. I didn't have a black tank flush on my RV and I didn't have a swivel stick to clean the inside at the time. I will be using it again in a month. Please advise.

  • I’ve heard that covers can eat away at the clear coat on the rv. I have an airstream type vintage motorhome and I don’t want the shiny finish to get dulled. How could I cover it yet prevent this?
