3. Homemade Black Tank Chemicals

 

RV Hacks

 

RV Black tanks are known for their habit of getting a bit stinky. A little smell is unavoidable when you’re carrying around a tank of…well you know. There are a whole host of various chemical solutions that you can buy to reduce the smell of your black tank. But before you go investing $5o on a case of harsh chemicals, why not try this homemade version first? Combine 1 cup of dish soap (liquid or powder) with 1 cup of Calgon water softener (found next to the laundry soap). Add this to your black tank and let it sit until the next time you dump. This homemade mixture will not only help cut down on oder, but will also aid in the removal of built up particles on your tank walls. Those same particles that can give you faulty tank sensor readings. Give it a try.

 

4. Install a Clear Sewer Pipe Elbow

RV Hacks

 

No one really wants to see what’s going on inside the sewer hose. They make those things brown or black for a reason. But the truth is that by installing a clear elbow at the end you can prevent a lot of potential problems down the road. Seeing what is going on in your hose allows you to check for undissolved toilet paper (in which case you might want to switch brands), to know ahead of time if a clog is about to happen, and to have visual confirmation that the tank is done emptying. Also, when you’re preforming a back tank flush you can easily see the color of the water, and when it runs clear be confident that the tank is clean.

Refrigerator Screens

These vents are often overlooked since you have to squat down to see them. But you do not want wasps or mud daubers getting in there and setting up a homestead. These screens keep them out! I did have to use a little clear caulk to cover the corners where the screens didn’t fit exact but no bug is going to get in there
