I grew up camping as a kid, but my dad always took care of this part while we waited impatiently in the truck...fast forward to 2023, and now I am a travel trailer owner and will be headed out on our first trip soon and this video helped my anxiety of the end of the trip and needing to dump and flush out everything while everyone stares at you. Very well explained. Thank you!
Thank you so much for letting us know how valuable our video was to you Daniel. So excited your are carrying on the camping tradition! Enjoy and safe travels!
Hi Tim, Thanks very much!!! Mike and Susan By the way, we started a Facebook group called RV Camping for Newbies. Hope you will check it out and join if you are interested! facebook.com/groups/RVCampingforNewbies/
I have a full rv hookup at my house so usually just dump at home. These are some good tips to speed up the process, especially apreciate the rhino blaster tip.

Thank u for CENSORING the flow throw the hoses when u were actually dumping the the black tank! 😁 Much appreciated. I'm considering doing the RV thing and this is helpful...plus the knee pad is a great idea . Even if you don't have knee issues....Who wants a pebble in their knee?! 🤦🏻♀️☺️
As a soon to be rv owner in the near future, I found your video the most informative. You broke it down into easy pieces. LOL the thought of doing this scares me to death. Silly I know. Thank you for this video, I am sure I will be watching it again soon.

I signed up for the Facebook newbie siet but it'll take a few days to be vetted. Meantime I'm in a situation that OH MY GOSH it's getting more chaotic and crazy by the day if not hour here. I watched your video and I'm ready to do this on my own. I am pretty sure I've got it nailed in my head and follow the basic directions of attach sewer hoses and clear elbow ends and get a good tight fit so they won't undo or leak. Pull the Black Tank gate release and watch it drain. Give plenty of time for it to drain. Then pull the grey tank gate release and again give plenty of time to drain. Never having done this before I may want to take a hose and I have one of those softer wands you put down the toilet into the black tank for better cleaning and flushing of any debris and I may need to do that too. Meantime the real pressure is that our temps are dropping fast here in NW MT. Four days ago we had a two day window to get this done. For some reason my husband blew the first day off. Next day we go out to head for the Dump station in town and the battery on the Class B+ won't turn over. DEAD??? All summer it was fine when we had to move it about and around. We thought we had the coach batteries set properly when on shore power to not drain the truck battery but guess some how we got it wrong. Anyway my husband decided to not jump start it but to put on a charger for the rest of the night and entire next day of RAIN. Today he took it off but did not check to see if the battery had charged. And today we never got out of the 40's. To add to the calamity I'm feeling with temps dropping and having put 5-7 gallons of water and holding tank cleaners in the RV a few weeks ago...summer was still with us then. I'm also on call for Federal Jury Duty the entire month of Oct...not called up this week but do not see any dry days the entire week. I'm not good at playing a victim so watching a few more of these wonderful videos to shore up my understanding and then ready to jump start the RV if need be tomorrow myself. The RV is my cup of tea. Hubby of 51 years has made it clear he's not a camper but has been fine with my tent camping solo for years and sometimes I've had a gal friend who loves the outdoor glamping adventure as much as me. With the ownership of my first RV there's a lot of firsts and the next stop for me is the DUMP STATION. I just hope no one drives in behind me cause I know I'm going to be SLOW making sure all is done by the book or in this case the VIDEO's how to. I've got my gloves, sanitizer, totes to hold the brand new sewer hose and apparatus. I have new gates to install but that will be next year now. Wish me luck everyone. And the same to all of you who are as green as I am and lets drink to not becoming green during the actual process...Thank you for posting Videos for us RV Newbies. Reminds me of when as a teenager I studied for my drivers test. I never parallel parked in my life but in the day MT had this wonderful little book that talked you through how to with great drawings. I was scolded over and over by my family and friends "YOU have to practice or you'll fail." No I have this my standard reply. And as I returned to the police station with the driver cop he told me to parallel park and I pulled up along side the car he pointed to and followed those directions to a T in my mind and when I had finished he turned to me and said...I've been doing these tests for over 20 years and YOU are the first person who ever did it precisely by the book. That was the best parallel parking I have ever seen.....I PASSED. And to this day I avoid parallel parking if I have options. And so to any nay sayers....my first experience at the dump station is this...."I've got this"....but I owe it all to these wonderful people who make these HOW to Videos. Freezing temps are way to close at hand so I have no choice but to HAVE THIS. 😊🙃😊
We have complete faith in you! 💪 You got this! And after you do it a couple of times and it gets easier and easier you will chuckle when you look back at how nervous you were! Sounds like you have done all your research and have all your supplies! Keep up posted on how well you do! Thank you for watching our Dump Station video and commenting!
You studied for your drivers test, I recently stayed up late studying for my physical exam haha. Seriously after watching this video I used a dump station at a local rv park ($20) and it all went very well.
Leaving the campgrounds I would see the long lines at the dump station, and always thought how anxious I would get using it. When we finally get our Casita, I'll be much better prepared now! Thanks!

Good job mike and camera woman susan .ha .loved your sanitizer station on the door ,my next tinker project . im installing a connection fitting at home to my septic line for ultimate no rush clean outs then a person can fiddle with things and nozzles to improve tank clean out .i was a industrial tank cleaner and later switched my company to servicing oil rigs .So i have a seen a lot of different industrial cleaning tools that can perhaps be modified for garden hose pressure or small pressure washer pump .something to break up the tank debris and spray the sensors .i have a milwaukee sewer camera so be easy to see results . thanks for the video . have a good day.

I use the Rhino Blaster without the gate valve, because I have an actual black tank flush hookup and use the hose hookup on the Rhino to clear any clogs I may have.

Iam sure did but don't forget to put back the dump stations hose fixture that you took off and put your green hose on. After you took off your green hose off and put it away. I also liked you connected green hose ends.
Hi Darlene, We absolutely put the fitting back onto the dump station hose when we finished up. Glad you liked how I connected the green hose ends. Keeps things dryer that way!

Hi, when you start to empty your black tank what's the elbow that actually hooks to your "black tank pipe' called? I've just bought an RV and I have the drain hose but not the part that attaches it to the black tank pipe itself..

Newer rvs have a built in black tank flush so the rinoblaster, doesn't need the gate valve to fill the black tank. Also most people flush the black tank before emptying the grey tank so the grey tank cleans you sewer hose.
Hi Lisa, Thanks for sharing that info! We empty the grey tank after the black tank too. It does clean the sewer hose. The purpose of flushing the black tank is to keep it nice and clean and debris free. Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan Have you subscribed to our TH-cam channel yet?

Hello, great video - hey - comment: I see some people leave that clear elbow on the trailer and take the hose off,,, I don't think thats a good idea, what do you think? wouldn't the risk of cracking or breaking it if not removed from the trailer? Leakage? hmmm, what do you think?
We have seen that too and every time I say - wow that looks like it could crack if something hits it - like a rock or piece of gravel when you are leaving the campground...I don't recommend it but everyone does things their own way... Thanks for watching and great question! Mike
You can leave it attached the entire time while you are camping if that's what you mean. Thank you for watching our Dump Station Tips video and commenting Stephen.
The Rhino blaster is the same as a built in tank flush. So you should be in great shape! The Rhino is best for older RVs without the flush feature! Thank you for watching our dump station video and commenting!

I enjoy your videos. Thorough and well done. We’re getting our first motorhome this week. It has a black tank flush. I assume we don’t need a rhino blaster?
Thank you so much for the kind words Rick! Many newer RVs come with tank flush so you will not need the rhino blaster. Safe travels and enjoy your new motorhome!!!
Great vid! I don’t think our trailer has a black tank gauge so how do I know when to stop filling without fear that water will spray up through the toilet or something else drastic?:)

Great video. I am learning a lot from all of them. Question, when do you add your tank treatment? When you set up? If you are traveling to another site, after flush? I havent seen that in any videos yet. Thanks
Hi Carol, We add chemical after we dump...we usually add a little water right after we dump and then add our chemical so the toilet doesn't smell while we are driving down the road. I handle all the outside activities at the dump station and Susan adds the water and chemical inside after we have dumped and while I am stowing the gear. Hope that helps!

Newbie question. If I am at a campground with full facilities, can I complete the dump station process at my campsite? Full flushing and such or do I just let the gray water drain into the campsite facilities. When you are new, a lot of stuff is overwhelming at first. Thanks

I am new to this, but I've noticed the RVs I've been looking at have a "black tank flush" port. Is that something new? I assume that is how you fill your black tank with clean water and takes the place of using the rhinoblaster. Am I missing something?
@@RVBlogger The 4 in 1 adapter was in the RV Blogger article that also had the video titled "Dump Station for RV - 5 RV Dumping Station Tips for beginners".The video did not talk about it which is why I was asking. Oh well. If you don't know I won't keep looking for it. Thanks!
Newbie question: Is the dump station for those that didn't do all these steps, before leaving their camp site, where they had unrestricted access to their sewer & water lines or for those that were boon docking?
Yes. There are some campgrounds or campsites that do not have the sewer option as part of their hookups. Many state parks fall into that category. In that case you would have to use the dump station. Thank you for watching our Dump Station video and commenting.
Hi Craig, Good question. Nope, we just use the RhinoBlaster to flush the black tank whenever we can. Just a part of good maintenance... Thanks for watching and commenting! Mike and Susan GET READY! We are launching our new digital/video magazine called RV Camping Magazine on June 1st! Stay tuned for our TH-cam Video all about it!
I think he’s asking about the blue liquid that was added after you attached the rhino blaster and before you began the flush. It was at 6:40 in the video.
Do you leave any water in the black tank after flusing? I've seen a few that suggest you leave about 1/4 to 1/3 full to avoid the dreaded poop mountain.
We do not leave any water in the black tank after flushing. We do keep the tank valve shut when camping and be sure to use enough water when flushing, that helps to reduce the poop pyramid. Thanks for watching and commenting.

When/where do you dump the extra clean water with the tank chemical that you added at the end? We just picked up (and put directly into storage) our first RV. I booked our first trip today (at a MI state park), and this is the process that has me the most nervous, so this video was much appreciated!

some campers have black tank rinser on the other side of there camper. hook the hose up and turn it on at the same time they open the sewer drain . so as they empty they are rinsing at the same time. so no need with the extra gate valve on there rhino connection. why they sell 2 types i would think. it seems you don't have one. maybe good for the gray tank. good to leave during the week instead of the weekend less stress if possible. PS: your way takes longer because of lack of a rinser built in. so anyone looking for a camper that is one feature you might want to consider.

slight confusion (newbie here) so... open the black valve to drain, then close it before opening the grey tank valve? and guessing i have to close the grey tank valve again before rhino flush? can you just come camping with me please....
lol! We would love to go camping with you! Close the gray tank while you open the black tank to drain it.. Then close the black tank before opening the gray tank to drain it. When you use the Rhinoblaster you have to open the black or gray tank valve but never both at the same time or you will get black tank matter in your gray tank. I hope this makes sense... Mike
@@RVBlogger thank you for the reply, but I thought the gray tank empties through the black tank then out the hose, there is only 1 exit hole on my camper. so if I close the black tank how will the gray tank drain out the hose?
@@dragonkandy327 The gray tank and the black tank drain through the same pipe so you only need one drain hose from your RV to the drain pipe on your campsite. The valves are used to drain one tank at a time without mixing the water from the tanks. You always release the black water first then you close that valve and open the grey tank valve last to flush out the hose so it isn't nasty when you put it away.
There is a gizmo you can attach to your hose that counts how many gallons have flowed through it. I attach that to my hose and then I know how much water is going into my black water tank. I saw this on another RV blogger channel. (Sorry, I cheated on y’all!). Gizmo is called a “P3 Save a Drop Water Flow Meter”.

We have an electronic panel inside that indicates when the tank is full. I just keep an eye on that. Otherwise you will need to look down your toilet to keep an eye on the water level.

Looks like everyone probably drips their black water everywhere too at the dump station when unhooking/unscrewing? Maybe wrap shoes in plastic bags or something cause aren’t you just waking on everyone’s black water still
That's a great point even though its gross to think about. But the same is true at your camp site. Waste water gets dripped around the sewer connection and all over the ground on the hookup side of a campsite. NEVER let your kids play on the hookup side of the campsite. Thanks for your comment!

The glove tips are great but after about the thousandth time you think about the animals that died under the wheel you just took off you really start to consider how little your gloves matter.
What animals are you referring to? Handling human waste can be unsanitary and unhealthy. We strongly encourage wearing rubber gloves when dumping your sewage tanks. Thank you for watching our RV Dump Station video and commenting.

I signed up for the Facebook newbie siet but it'll take a few days to be vetted. Meantime I'm in a situation that OH MY GOSH it's getting more chaotic and crazy by the day if not hour here. I watched your video and I'm ready to do this on my own. I am pretty sure I've got it nailed in my head and follow the basic directions of attach sewer hoses and clear elbow ends and get a good tight fit so they won't undo or leak. Pull the Black Tank gate release and watch it drain. Give plenty of time for it to drain. Then pull the grey tank gate release and again give plenty of time to drain. Never having done this before I may want to take a hose and I have one of those softer wands you put down the toilet into the black tank for better cleaning and flushing of any debris and I may need to do that too. Meantime the real pressure is that our temps are dropping fast here in NW MT. Four days ago we had a two day window to get this done. For some reason my husband blew the first day off. Next day we go out to head for the Dump station in town and the battery on the Class B+ won't turn over. DEAD??? All summer it was fine when we had to move it about and around. We thought we had the coach batteries set properly when on shore power to not drain the truck battery but guess some how we got it wrong. Anyway my husband decided to not jump start it but to put on a charger for the rest of the night and entire next day of RAIN. Today he took it off but did not check to see if the battery had charged. And today we never got out of the 40's. To add to the calamity I'm feeling with temps dropping and having put 5-7 gallons of water and holding tank cleaners in the RV a few weeks ago...summer was still with us then. I'm also on call for Federal Jury Duty the entire month of Oct...not called up this week but do not see any dry days the entire week. I'm not good at playing a victim so watching a few more of these wonderful videos to shore up my understanding and then ready to jump start the RV if need be tomorrow myself. The RV is my cup of tea. Hubby of 51 years has made it clear he's not a camper but has been fine with my tent camping solo for years and sometimes I've had a gal friend who loves the outdoor glamping adventure as much as me. With the ownership of my first RV there's a lot of firsts and the next stop for me is the DUMP STATION. I just hope no one drives in behind me cause I know I'm going to be SLOW making sure all is done by the book or in this case the VIDEO's how to. I've got my gloves, sanitizer, totes to hold the brand new sewer hose and apparatus. I have new gates to install but that will be next year now. Wish me luck everyone. And the same to all of you who are as green as I am and lets drink to not becoming green during the actual process...Thank you for posting Videos for us RV Newbies. Reminds me of when as a teenager I studied for my drivers test. I never parallel parked in my life but in the day MT had this wonderful little book that talked you through how to with great drawings. I was scolded over and over by my family and friends "YOU have to practice or you'll fail." No I have this my standard reply. And as I returned to the police station with the driver cop he told me to parallel park and I pulled up along side the car he pointed to and followed those directions to a T in my mind and when I had finished he turned to me and said...I've been doing these tests for over 20 years and YOU are the first person who ever did it precisely by the book. That was the best parallel parking I have ever seen.....I PASSED. And to this day I avoid parallel parking if I have options. And so to any nay sayers....my first experience at the dump station is this...."I've got this"....but I owe it all to these wonderful people who make these HOW to Videos. Freezing temps are way to close at hand so I have no choice but to HAVE THIS. 😊🙃😊

Good job mike and camera woman susan .ha .loved your sanitizer station on the door ,my next tinker project . im installing a connection fitting at home to my septic line for ultimate no rush clean outs then a person can fiddle with things and nozzles to improve tank clean out .i was a industrial tank cleaner and later switched my company to servicing oil rigs .So i have a seen a lot of different industrial cleaning tools that can perhaps be modified for garden hose pressure or small pressure washer pump .something to break up the tank debris and spray the sensors .i have a milwaukee sewer camera so be easy to see results . thanks for the video . have a good day.

Newer rvs have a built in black tank flush so the rinoblaster, doesn't need the gate valve to fill the black tank. Also most people flush the black tank before emptying the grey tank so the grey tank cleans you sewer hose.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for sharing that info! We empty the grey tank after the black tank too. It does clean the sewer hose. The purpose of flushing the black tank is to keep it nice and clean and debris free.

Hello, great video - hey - comment: I see some people leave that clear elbow on the trailer and take the hose off,,, I don't think thats a good idea, what do you think? wouldn't the risk of cracking or breaking it if not removed from the trailer? Leakage? hmmm, what do you think?
We have seen that too and every time I say - wow that looks like it could crack if something hits it - like a rock or piece of gravel when you are leaving the campground...I don't recommend it but everyone does things their own way...
Thanks for watching and great question!

Can the Rhino blaster attachment be left in as a permanent attachment or only during use?
You can leave it attached the entire time while you are camping if that's what you mean. Thank you for watching our Dump Station Tips video and commenting Stephen.
Great video.
Thank you! So glad you found our Dump Station video helpful. Thank you for watching and letting us know!
Now I see how you tell when the black tank is full with the Rhino blaster, thanks. If you have built in blank tank flush, is that as good or better?
The Rhino blaster is the same as a built in tank flush. So you should be in great shape! The Rhino is best for older RVs without the flush feature! Thank you for watching our dump station video and commenting!

Great vid! I don’t think our trailer has a black tank gauge so how do I know when to stop filling without fear that water will spray up through the toilet or something else drastic?:)
The same way you know it's time to dump your tank I guess...How do you do that?

Great video. I am learning a lot from all of them. Question, when do you add your tank treatment? When you set up? If you are traveling to another site, after flush? I havent seen that in any videos yet. Thanks
Hi Carol,
We add chemical after we dump...we usually add a little water right after we dump and then add our chemical so the toilet doesn't smell while we are driving down the road. I handle all the outside activities at the dump station and Susan adds the water and chemical inside after we have dumped and while I am stowing the gear.
Hope that helps!

I am new to this, but I've noticed the RVs I've been looking at have a "black tank flush" port. Is that something new? I assume that is how you fill your black tank with clean water and takes the place of using the rhinoblaster. Am I missing something?

You are spot on! You are exactly right.

Do you have a 4 in 1 adapter in your Amazon store? I could not find it
I am not familiar with a 4 in 1 adapter. What is it used for?
Thanks,
Mike
@@RVBlogger The 4 in 1 adapter was in the RV Blogger article that also had the video titled "Dump Station for RV - 5 RV Dumping Station Tips for beginners".The video did not talk about it which is why I was asking. Oh well. If you don't know I won't keep looking for it. Thanks!
Newbie question: Is the dump station for those that didn't do all these steps, before leaving their camp site, where they had unrestricted access to their sewer & water lines or for those that were boon docking?
Yes. There are some campgrounds or campsites that do not have the sewer option as part of their hookups. Many state parks fall into that category. In that case you would have to use the dump station. Thank you for watching our Dump Station video and commenting.
Do you add a cleaner of some sort into the black tank before the rhino blaster?
Hi Craig,
Good question. Nope, we just use the RhinoBlaster to flush the black tank whenever we can. Just a part of good maintenance...

I think he’s asking about the blue liquid that was added after you attached the rhino blaster and before you began the flush. It was at 6:40 in the video.
Awesome
Thank you! And thank you for watching our video and letting us know!
Do you leave any water in the black tank after flusing? I've seen a few that suggest you leave about 1/4 to 1/3 full to avoid the dreaded poop mountain.
We do not leave any water in the black tank after flushing. We do keep the tank valve shut when camping and be sure to use enough water when flushing, that helps to reduce the poop pyramid. Thanks for watching and commenting.

some campers have black tank rinser on the other side of there camper. hook the hose up and turn it on at the same time they open the sewer drain . so as they empty they are rinsing at the same time. so no need with the extra gate valve on there rhino connection. why they sell 2 types i would think. it seems you don't have one. maybe good for the gray tank. good to leave during the week instead of the weekend less stress if possible. PS: your way takes longer because of lack of a rinser built in. so anyone looking for a camper that is one feature you might want to consider.

slight confusion (newbie here) so... open the black valve to drain, then close it before opening the grey tank valve? and guessing i have to close the grey tank valve again before rhino flush? can you just come camping with me please....
lol! We would love to go camping with you!
Close the gray tank while you open the black tank to drain it.. Then close the black tank before opening the gray tank to drain it. When you use the Rhinoblaster you have to open the black or gray tank valve but never both at the same time or you will get black tank matter in your gray tank.
I hope this makes sense...
Mike
@@RVBlogger thank you for the reply, but I thought the gray tank empties through the black tank then out the hose, there is only 1 exit hole on my camper. so if I close the black tank how will the gray tank drain out the hose?
@@dragonkandy327 The gray tank and the black tank drain through the same pipe so you only need one drain hose from your RV to the drain pipe on your campsite. The valves are used to drain one tank at a time without mixing the water from the tanks. You always release the black water first then you close that valve and open the grey tank valve last to flush out the hose so it isn't nasty when you put it away.
There is a gizmo you can attach to your hose that counts how many gallons have flowed through it. I attach that to my hose and then I know how much water is going into my black water tank. I saw this on another RV blogger channel. (Sorry, I cheated on y’all!). Gizmo is called a “P3 Save a Drop Water Flow Meter”.

We have an electronic panel inside that indicates when the tank is full. I just keep an eye on that. Otherwise you will need to look down your toilet to keep an eye on the water level.

Looks like everyone probably drips their black water everywhere too at the dump station when unhooking/unscrewing? Maybe wrap shoes in plastic bags or something cause aren’t you just waking on everyone’s black water still
That's a great point even though its gross to think about. But the same is true at your camp site. Waste water gets dripped around the sewer connection and all over the ground on the hookup side of a campsite. NEVER let your kids play on the hookup side of the campsite.
Thanks for your comment!
