- Learn how to sanitize RV water tank with these easy steps! Step-by-step instructions to show you how I used vinegar and bleach as our RV water tank sanitizer to clean our RV (fresh, grey, black) water tanks.
I was smelling a stale odor in our RV sink which lead me to believe our RV grey water tank needed cleaning. If there was a smell from our RV grey water tank, it was highly likely our fresh water tank and our back water tank needed sanitizing also.
We began with filling our fresh water tank with clean water and letting this drain into the grey and black tanks. I then added vinegar to the grey tank and bleach to the back tank. Once this was done, I then refilled the fresh water tank and added vinegar to it.
Now we were ready to drive to the next RV Park so we could sanitize our RV water tanks. The vinegar and bleach mixed with water could slush around the tanks and clean them as we drove down the road.
We chose a park with water hook ups at our next stop for convenience and to make it easier to flush the tanks and rinse out the bleach and vinegar.
Cleaning your RV water tank should be part of a regular RV maintenance schedule. I plan to sanitize our RV water tanks on a quarterly basis because it is important to me to have clean RV water tanks.
This water tank cleaning process was in my Little Guy Max Trailer, however, the steps would be very similar in any teardop trailer to travel travel. What process have you used for RV water tank cleaning? I'd love to hear about it in the comment section below!
Thanks for watching!

Have you considered that if you have residual poop in your black tank that ibleach will react with the ammonia? This can turn nasty.
Randi, I am so grateful for your channel. I have learned so much! I've just purchased a LGM Thank you so much!
Welcome to the family! You are in for the time of your life!
Thanks Randi' 🥰
I just bought an older motor coach. I was thinking about yanking the water tank bc it’s easy to do. But after seeing ur video, I’m doing it ur way. Thanx.
It's nice to have water on board!
Great video, never knew watching cleaning black and grey water tanks would bring me so much joy! Great video and great information thank you so much
Mario Martinez Hi Mario! You just made me smile! 😁
Nothing better than good old vinegar and bleach to kill all the bad stinkos! Great job!

Hi Randi! That was a very entertaining and educational vlog! What a treat seeing you and adorable Princess on the TWD channel! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Alison! I had so much fun meeting Patrick and Patty... awesome people! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❣
Enjoyed watching the video from New Zealand
Hi Derek from New Zealand!
Very good video. Great information and so well presented! Thank you! I will try this procedure on my Winnebago when it needs to be sanitized. I always prefer simple products, over expensive specialty products! Thanks for sharing!
Jurgen's Journeys Hi Jurgen’s Journeys!!!! After smelling an unpleasant order I needed to figure out how to effectively get rid of it. I am not big on chemicals so this solution worked perfectly for us. Let me know how it works for you! 😊
Great video! Lots of good information. I never thought about using vinegar to sanitize the fresh water tank, or using bleach for the gray and black water tanks.
Me either! Definitely going to try that! Thanks for the info!
I am learning as I go! I never thought of using bleach and vinegar to sanitize the tanks either thus the smell 🙃 I will be dong this on a regular basis!
Thanks for posting! Good information!
Chris Chocolaad Thanks Chris! 😊 I am going to make sanitizing my tanks part of my regular RV maintenance.
Randi's Adventures me too. And have a regular schedule of planned maintenance. Now if I can stick to it ! I just cleaned my pop up tanks( ran bleach and water), I like seeing what other folks are doing !
Great video!! Thank You
Brazilian-Lady Thanks! Keeping the RV tanks sanitized has eliminated odors and I like knowing my drains are clean!
Great video!
Thanks!!! That means the world to me.
Great info thanks🌞
I am glad this RV sanitization water tank was helpful for you!
Great information. Our RV has a sanitize line so i like to let the water run through there for an hour or so to get it all nice and clean.
The Traveling Pisces Hi! Oh that’s super cool! 👍
Nice educational video Randi. Recently came across your channel. Lot your positive vibes in each of your videos! 😀
Jim 6100 A. in Phoenix Thanks Jim! You just made my day! 😊
💙
Thank y’all 🇨🇦
You are so very welcome!
Another good one Randi! I just did my first one. Easy least love how you break things down into simple steps.❤️
Thanks Diane! I will be sanitizing my LGM water tanks this weekend!
@@RandisAdventures the only thing I didn't do was the drive to another campground I just let it sit all day in my tanks and cleaned it out later in the evening
@@dianerivard1538 How did that work out?
@@RandisAdventures everything smelled clean so I am happy with it. Did you consider adding some bleach along with the vinegar for the fresh water tank?
That’s great! No, I don’t think bleach should be used.
Great info. #. Roamingwithrover. 🐶🐶🐶
Roaming with Rover Hi! Thanks. Cleaning with Apple Cider vinegar and bleach did the job!
I'm doing our today and I wanted to watch and make sure I'm doing it right. Its been a while since I've cleaned it. Great timing on the video
Howling Fun RV Adventures Oh good! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@RandisAdventures Oh my goodness what an ordeal... I went to test the pump and nothing. Turned out just a fuse but that was the last thing I checked of course .
Howling Fun RV Adventures Wooooo Hooooo! Job well done. I might have panicked too if the water pump wasn’t working! 🙈 Glad you discovered the problem. Nice job and thanks for letting me know how it went! 👍😊👋
@@RandisAdventures Oh, this has been a bad week, Found our the furnace needs to be replaced and we are putting new tires on tomorrow. But honestly I can't complain because we have never had a issue with it.Just the normal maintenance is all.
Howling Fun RV Adventures Oh no! Sometimes when it rains it pours. Hopefully it is going to stop raining for you! ☀️ 🌞 ☀️
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hi Randi! Thanks for the demo, that looked easy enough! We haven't been out as much as you guys and haven't noticed any funkiness so haven't done that yet but will save to my playlist for future reference :-) Did want to mention at 1:56, did you say you had a 30 gal grey tank? We only have 14 gal...you must have the super-sized version 😂 Safe and happy travels my friend!~💜
Hi Stacey! IKES, thanks for catching that mistake. You are 100% correct... it is a 14 gallon tank, not a 30 gallon tank. I must have heard myself say 30 gallons 10 times as I was editing the video and never caught that. 😬 You're the BEST❣
Where & how did you install your shower full length mirror? We just bought a new 2020 LG Max & love this idea!!!
Hi!!! First... big congrats on your Little Guy Max. You are in for the time of your life. The mirror came with the trailer. Sounds like they stopped adding the mirror but it would be easy to add one. It’s not made of glass and I am not certain what material is used.
I never use my black water tank and I live off grid . I do have a well . I often just run the hose rt into my toilet and fill it that way and also my gray tank .. though I don’t use it I like to flush it all the same . Thanks for your content . My fresh water smells a little funky . I don’t use it that much . I just fill gallon jugs from my well .
Hi Lila! That’s nice you have access to well water. Sanitizing should help freshen up your fresh water tank.
Have you camped at Eagle River? My wife and her family camped in that area every summer.
Michael Lowrey Hey Michael! I hadn’t heard of Eagle River so I Googled it. The area looks amazing with a chain of 28 lakes. I need to add this to my list of places to camp. Thank you so much for the recommendation! 😊
Your dog is adorable!!!
Susan Warth Thanks Susan! We love her! 🐶💗🐶
We dump a bag of ice into our empty holding tank and let it slosh around as we travel to break up any solids that may build up.
Jeez Louise Hey Jeez Louise! I like your name! 😁 Thanks for sharing your tip... using bumpy road travel time makes sense.
Where did you get the blue piece on the end of your hose? Genius!
Wheel Life Hi! It’s a flow regulator that came with our Little Guy Max trailer when we bought it.
What is the blue plastic piece you have attached to your fresh water hose before attaching it to your rv?
Hi Debra! It is a pressure regulator. This is it on Amazon: amzn.to/3uj5BFp
@@RandisAdventures Thx! I was wondering the same thing.
Aren’t you worried about the vinegar mixing with the bleach? That makes creates chlorine gas and is lethal. I suppose since you’re still alive it hasn’t been a problem. I would do the bleach soak and vinegar soak on separate occasions.
Thank you for your incredibly valuable feedback! I learn so much from you. Thank you! ☺️
I personally would not add the bleach than later add the vinegar go through the system... It will create a very bad smell.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback…. After doing this video I have learned that we shouldn’t use bleach and vinegar together.
Doesn't bleach and vinegar make toxic gas?
I learned that it can from others who watched this video. I learn so much from you guys! ☺️
@@RandisAdventures just hope it wasn't her last video lmfao 😂
Hi Randi, how often do you need to do this?
Hi Peggy! I am going to try to sanitize my tanks every 3-6 months. Or sooner if I get any unpleasant smells. 🥺
Randi's Adventures thanks!
Peggy Collison 😊 Have a great weekend!
How many times to you need to do that?
Sherry Pabst Hi Sherry! I sanitize mine once a year.
Randi's Adventures Thanks!!! Loving your channel!!!
Hello crazy eyes
Elmer Fudge Howdy Elmer! 🤣
No Vinegar baking soda is better!
Its True Hello! Someone else mentioned the same thing. So do I mix the two together? I appreciate your input! 😊
I think your ponytail is too tight.
Christopher Goff 🙈
Please do not mix vinegar and bleach!
Thanks for letting me know!
