It is a job that has to be done when living the RV-life, but not what you look forward to:) Good idea that you have a spare hose with you - I guess people should pay attention to that if they do not have one! Incidentally , in Norway it has become popular to install incinerating toilets in RVs (and cabins/tiny houses) to avoid the the problem with black tanks and waste. It works quite well as long as you have gas.
They have them here as well and composting toilet set ups as well. We do have propane so I suppose it would work but have no experience with that type of set up! As expected this is not my favorite job, LOL

Nice video. Good camera lady. You’re ready to drop petroleum at service stations. That is “walking the hose”. Now I’m going to watch your towing video.
Dealing with a black tank is no fun. Hopefully nuCamp will soon move to cassette toilet in the Tab 400. Dump stations are the worst. I always struggled with how to deal with footwear at dump stations. You know the whole area is contaminated and if you walk on it your shoes are contaminated as well. Either have to have dedicated pair of shoes for dumping or put on disposable booties. If not you contaminate your RV floor or car floor. If you have a cassette toilet, you can dump it in bathrooms etc. And only having only a gray tank to dump would mean you can eliminate the bulky sewer hose and move to just a dedicated gray water garden hose for dumping your gray water tank. Might take a little longer but eliminating the sewer hose maintenance, storage & cleaning is a big win.
They have moved to cassette in the 320s and not sure if they have done the same for the 400 yet. The down side is cassette is 9 gals so that means double the dumps. One option is disposable booties that you can throw away after use. Garden hose for grey????? That is something to think about. Thanks for the support!
As someone just starting out, (waiting for my trailer) this was a great video! Thank you! Not only what to expect but what to do or not to do! Seriously someone could do a whole channel on how to connect to various dump stations with different set ups etc. It’s the most intimidating part for me! Ha ha..
oh snap dumping the poopy tank oh yea good times....lol oh man i was glad to see you had another line. we watched someone try it with one at a dump. it was allll bad. i wish we had a flush like that. we had to buy a adaptor for the dump hoses to flush it all. got to love the peanut galleries in the back ground lol thanks for sharing much love guys always a good time
WE got to do what we do 💩 LOL, got to let some things go! Thanks as always! We will catch up on your next live.. We always appreciate the support! 👍❤️K&R
Oh great videos you all great information as usual I would definitely leave the dirty work for my husband to do as well LOL you guys have a great evening and chat around soon
Great job. We have been watching a lot of your videos as we are thinking the t@b 400 may be our next camper. We watch on the big screen so I don't comment but we are watching. We are watching the screen room tent now. Thanks for all the great information on these campers. 🙂👍☕
Over here in England in the 90s we had a kids educational show called How2, it taught me a lot of stuff. Your channel always reminds me on that show! ❤ keep doing what you are doing, making amazing content 😊
You are so welcome, if there is anything you would like to see us film let us know we will see what we can do. Any questions about any of this fire away. If we don't know the answer we will find it for you!
I've seen others where you had to crawl under the RV to get to those outlets. Nice that your outlet for both and is on the side. If 2 people camped for a week, how often would you need to do this? Every other day?
With full hookups we can keep the Grey tank open and not have to dump the Black tank till the end of the week. With no hook up we can go about 4 days of grey water and 5-6 on black. Its the shower that fills up the grey the quickest.
Hi friends. Thanks for walking us through this process. Really cool how you have built in storage for your supplies. Hose support is very helpful, for sure!
Really great stuff -- thanks for your very informative videos. We just bought a 2023 Tab@400 which does not have the storage compartment for the stinky slinky. Do you have any information about the add-on that you, well, added on? Just saw your link to the hose carrier -- doh!
I cant tell you how much I appreciate this video! You have eased my apprehension about dealing with the black tank. Do ALL camp sites have individual drainage receptacles at each space?
No, not all sites have "full hookups" which is power, water, sewer. quite a few have power and water and a dump station for the sewer and grey water. It's all good with just the 2 until you need to dump then you need to hookup and go dump, or a portable cart to off load some grey or black and wheel it to go dump. Then you can boondock which is self contained no hookups, LOL the possibilities are endless.
Great tutorial!! I want a T@B 400 one day so I'm learning as much as I can to prepare 😁. When it comes to the black tank hoses, are they hard to keep clean bc of the accordion style corrugating? Also can you use enzymes in your black tank like you would in septic home tanks?
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Good idea to start learning everything you can before you get your Tab. If you extend the black tank hoses all the way out everything flushes through them. You can use RV specific treatments for your black tank. We use Happy Camper. We've even heard of some people who make their own.
Thanks for a great video. I'm trying to drill things into my brain before I get my T@B. This video made me think that I may not even need to hook up the hose (for a weekend trip) until I am ready to leave. If I do hook up, I assume I will have to close off the grey water awhile before my final dump....to have some rinsing water. Can you tell me the brand of water hose you have for the black tank flush? Many thanks! Susan
Thanks again! We didn’t hook up until the morning we were going to leave. And Yes you want to leave the black tank closed until you plan to dump. You can hook up and open grey tank if you are using a lot of water, but you want to have a pretty good amount of water to help flush out the sewer hose after the black tank dump.. Having a BT flush helps flush the tank. A rookie mistake is keeping black tank open while camping and getting a hose blockage and sewer gas back up into the unit.

Thank you for this! Expecting delivery of my Tab 400 in the spring. Very helpful! Love that black tank flush hose, is the shut off valve and sprayer all part of the hose or a separate connection? And where can I find one? Thanks again, been watching the last couple of months and you helped me decide on Andersen hitch too! Appreciate it!
We greatly appreciate your continued support! The hose I use for the black tank is from Amazon and the shut off is part of the hose, comes with a spitter and also a spray nozzle and bag. It is one of the never kink ones that expands when you use it. Delxo 2020 upgrade expandable hose 50ft 3/4 fitting.
Thanks most people don't talk about!
great instruction how to dump your waste water.
It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.

That is awesome! We love our Tab 400. NuCamp makes great products. We're more than willing to answer any questions you may have about the Tab 400.
Yes, this is part of life. Looks like you guys came prepared. Great idea to have an extra hose.
Better to have and not need then to need and not have! Thanks as always.
Unfortunately necessary guys!!! Great share and thanks for sharing 🙏😊
Yes, not much you can do, if ya RV you got to dump the tanks! Thanks!
You made it look easy!👍
Hahaha, I have had a bit of practice LOL. we do what we love and do what we need to do to be happy, this is just part of the deal.

Lol....Hopefully it's good advice for anyone starting out.
wow! that was quite a process!
Not a fun job, but somebody has to do it.
You are such a pro at this.
I'm glad my husband doesn't mind doing this. He's the best.
Great! Thank you. Safe travels!
Thank you so much for watching.
I say this is probaley the least fun chore for campers but nice learning process here
It certainly is. Thank for watching.

The worst chore at the campground.
Awesome, keep up the good work!

Great job my friend 👍
Thank you 👍
Thanks you
Thank you!
Oh man, this would probably be my least favorite chore... but definitely necessary. You made this look pretty easy though!
Lol...my least favorite too. I'm so glad my husband is up for this challenge. looking forward to your newest video tomorrow.
Hey friends ❤️ praying for safe travels always 🙏🥰
Thanks so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Lil'Roo Boy.
Good information 😊👍‼️
Thanks for visiting.
Very good vlog and video
Glad you liked it.
Ugh that part we don't like. That is why we choose a composting toilet in our RV. The process doesn't seem difficult at all.
Not a fun job but part of the process. We didn't have an option for a composting toilet.
Great video,guys!! Y'all make it look easy. Thanks for sharing! Christina and Rick
LOL.......Thanks for watching!
This is a very informative video. Thank you for showing us the process my friend.
Thank you. It's not a fun job but has to be done.

Really great stuff -- thanks for your very informative videos. We just bought a 2023 Tab@400 which does not have the storage compartment for the stinky slinky. Do you have any information about the add-on that you, well, added on?
Just saw your link to the hose carrier -- doh!
It was super easy to do, if you Amazon you can follow our link to the tube we used when we did the add on..
Thanks TJ & Red
That is probably the least fun chore of owning campers. Are there any of the chores folks dislike doing more?
This has to be at the top of the list for least enjoyable. Thank God my husband is willing to watch.

That gurgling sound is always so unappetizing. :)
The smell is the worst part...
I totally agree with you, Nola Gent.
Our least enjoyable chore.
