Hey everyone! Hows your Tuesday going? Its a wet and rainy day here in Pcola! We have been having problems with little gnats everywhere, I was reading that they come through the duct vents and live in the black tank. How do you get rid of them? Anybody have that problem before? Besides dumping bug spray or clorine in the tank, looking for a less…[Read more]

Eddies mom uses about 1/4 cup beer or wine or whatever you drink I guess and a drop of dish-washing soap in a jar and leaves it by a light so they are attracted to it, she said it worked great. So that might help, i just kill them but will try this when theyget bad again. She said it worked in her camper so mabe this is anther idea, good luck. Aileen

Ok RVfull timers, we r new to this and everything is good except fir the toilet smells! We are flushing the tank and tried the little pod.then tried orange liquid made for black tanks.Its good for maybe 2 days and then out if no where it stinks. Living in fl with the extreme high temperatures already doesn’t help. We flushed with borax and liquid…[Read more]

You ARE leaving some water in the bowl at the end of the…er…business…every time, right? It’s just like the bowl at home. Needs water to seal off the smell.

Yes we are, what do u use?

Could be a dirty tank if it has sat for a while before you got it. One trick is to pour some detergent down there and then a couple bags of ice cubes. Take it for a cruise on a windy road. Then flush and refill a few times and flush.
If that doesn’t do it you may have a problem with the venting, the tank is vented up to the roof and if the vent…[Read more]

Hi Ray, we bought the RV used and it was sitting a while before we got it.found a bunch of old dirt dobber nests in the grill and the basements.we put a new roof on and those fancy vents to prevent the smells. Going to try the ice thing. Hope that works! Would you know how to clean the vents if the ice thing doesnt work? What kind of treatment do…[Read more]
-
The ice thing should work, Susan. Sounds like you might have leftover, uh, sediment.
After the ice thing, try a couple of gallons of vinegar and a couple of gallons of water and let it set a few hours, then flush the tank. AFTER the vinegar is out real good, you should be good to go, as long as your vent is open. You might smell the…[Read more]-
We have done the ice thing, quite often, really works great, especially if been sitting awhile, even though you dump might still have some stuck so yes try the ice it works for us. Good luck

An easy way to know if the vent is clear is to run a hose up to the roof and run some water down the vent. With the tank valve open the water should just flow out, if it backs up to the roof you’ll know it is clogged. You never know there could be something causing a clog, maybe an old bee nest of something in it. I put up a forum post a little…[Read more]
