Dont ask me why I asked this .. Number two's at 3 in the morning are very acceptable in the camper's facilities. Don't ask why I responded. |

We have been using one we have for a long time and never had a problem. We use everything in motorhome. It all works. If you know how to clean out tank then you will never have a problem. Black tanks need lots of water at all times. Never open the valve to you need to dump and then add 5 to 6 gals of water back in. Our black tank is 57 gals and that holds a lot of crap.

We use our RV toilet just as we do the one at home. I might also add that we always shower in our RV too. The way I see it, traveling with your own bathroom is a great benefit to RVing as you always know how clean the facilities will be, how much hot water you will have, etc.

Good grief did I miss something? I bought my class A with a bath and a half so the DW and I would both hour our own potty for them times in the morning. We have not used a camp or park facility since we bought our rv. Its what we bought it for so thats it.

We use all the systems on our trailer all the time, that is why we bought it.

The reason we try to minimize our camper's use is we are usually where there are no hookups (and almost always no sewer hookup). Our gray tank is too small for us to be taking showers, plus the shower is tiny. The last time I used our shower was at Disney World, cause we had a sewer hookup. I used it one time that week - forgot how small it was, so I used their showers the rest of the time.
Now the black tank appears to go on forever - but since we usually don't have electric hookups, I don't want the water pump running all the time with 5 of us using the toilet. If I had a bigger shower, always had full hookups, I would use our facilities more. |

I think our thinking on this is similiar to Happy's , we're often without a sewer hookup for an extended period , and the shower is rather small even for Sweetie , who aint as big as nothing ..

I use my own facilities. I know who has been on them, and where they have been, and when they were last cleaned.
Since I'm by myself, I also wash dishes in a rubbermaid tub and dump the water down toilet in order to "dilute" it. JJ -------------------- JJ from Pacific Northwest

We use our own facilities as well. We can get about four days of "storage" from the black and gray tanks and that's with 2 gals and 1 guy. Our water pump is powered by the battery, so we have no problems using water during boondocking (unless our fresh tank is empty).
Since my wife is kinda germiphobic and has transferred it to my daughter, going on our own potty is far, far easier than lugging seat covers, disinfectant, blowtorches, and specially modified hazmat suits to any other facility. -------------------- If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

...far easier than lugging seat covers, disinfectant, blowtorches, and specially modified hazmat suits... Most excellent!!! Had to wipe laughter tears from my eyes to finish my reply here... OMG this describes my better half! Yes...we too use our own facilities. Like JJ, when in no-water/low-water situations, I've become adept at transferring dish-water to the head. Cheers! FI |

We have convert our black tank into a yellow tank and never (almost) do anything that would make it a black tank. This works out well for us and we usually use the campgrounds or eating place's toilets. Works much better for us. I saw a camper this morning lose his hose while dumping his balck tank. Made a horrible mess and tied up the dump station quite a while. We are usually limited by our gray tank capacity.
