The reason I splurged here on full hookups including sewer was that I knew I had to do something about my black holding tank. I didn’t want to find myself again in a situation where I was so desperate to dump I had to follow bad directions and break my vehicles again. I also found that parking at a public dump station doesn’t work well; someone always ends up queuing in behind me.<\/p>\n
I tried Kevin’s recipe and that helped a bit. I tried wanding the tank with high pressure bursts of water. That helped a bit. Finally, I decided it was time for big measures. I grabbed a slim, narrow, and not sharp object and jammed it down there. I’ll spare you any olfactory descriptions, but, within five seconds of moving the stick around, WHOOSH!, the tank was absolutely empty!<\/p>\n
This morning, I filled the tank completely and emptied it, then I sent the non-potable hose down there for a complete rinse. My sensors still say my tank is critically full, but those sensors, like most RV sensors, are absolutely useless. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Holding tanks are empty, fresh water tank is full, and I’m reasonably well rested. I guess it’s time to move on and see what Brandon has to offer in way of tourism. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
