Re: [VAL] black water tank stories



If you are at a campground with a sewer hook up, you put the slinky hose 
  from the outlet of the trailer into the hole. The grey water just goes 
down the hole. The black tank can go for nearly a week. Keep that valve 
closed until the tank is quite full, and don't be stingy with the water 
to flush. It needs to stay sloshy.  You can either dump the black tank 
right into the ground , followed by a good rush of water through the 
hose or take the trailer to the dump station.

If you are not at a sewer hook up, you need the blue meanie to hold the 
grey water.  I have a 5 gal that takes me a day to fill, then I can 
empty it easily.  The big ones are way heavy when full.

I don't think most folks use the blue meanie for black water.  They 
don't drain all that well, and I would be afraid of it stinking while 
it's riding in the truck.
