There is a weirdo commenting with your picture scamming money for africa...just thought you might want to know....
Someone comes and tells you that washing poop with water is effective and suddenly its "myth busted!"???? You havent proved anything. And based on the fact your were so easily convinced water is all you need to clean your tanks well enough to eat off of as you said, i wonder what misinformation your other videos might be spreading. Its cool that you have a channel, but this video is just dumb. By your logic, I assume you have stopped using shampoo and soap in the shower, correct? Cause you cant tell me a half full tank of crap is cleaner the the average persons hair.
What do you do for smelly tanks, or to prevent smelly tanks.
@@Berrypancakes229use more h2o
This video changed my RV sewer tank life. It can be a real problem and this Kleen Tank owner is a gem. He made sense and he is logical and has no agenda, You guys have a done a GREAT service for featuring this man and one of the better RV videos that is a complete explanation - NO agenda - what a relief. Thank you . David
There was no mention of protecting the toilet inside from any overspray. It should have the lid closed and perhaps
sealed with tape or plastic wrap as a precaution. Err on the side of caution.
I would “assume” the toilet valve is not in an open position while they are cleaning.
@@djflook9465yeah like how would that even happen, does your toilet just have an empty hole in the bottom of it
@@hotshotgamer2124mine does…
I wish I'd found this about two weeks ago
the transparency this man lives by is what this whole world needs today. his will to help a the community of rv living is amazing
Been a master plumber for decades. This fella gives great advice!!!!
Finally. Somebody stops mincing around the point and tells me how it works. As an old retired science teacher I can really appreciate this straightforward explanation of HOW IT WORKS.
In fact, I just now put the principals of 'jetting water' and 'flushing' to work. And yes, after sticking the hose with a high pressure nozzle on the the end of it down the black tank and flushing it several times I FINALLY cleared the sensors and the tank. Unusually the gray tank was harder and it took several back flushes before I got the last sensor to clear but clear it did. Probably because the gray tank doesn't have a large diameter access hole for the hose pressure nozzle but it did FINALLY work. Many many thanks...gives me almost as much satisfaction as finding the automatic choke adjustment on the generator. Both problems were probably some 23 years in the making as I've got a 2000 Born Free.
We are at Stella Mare RV resort here in Texas and guess who is right next to us here ?
Jim from Kleen Tanks. We got him to do our tanks and are so happy he did.
Highly recommend him and his crew.
We just bought our first (used) RV. This video has definitely upped my confidence level. And, as a retired journalist, I want to compliment you on your interviewing skills; you asked every question that was on my mind. Good job! Glad to be a new subscriber.
WTF, this video should be required training for everyone that owns an RV! Thanks to Kleen Tank for the free “RV tank science 101 class”! We’ve been lied to by marketing departments for years.
Tom , it looks like you chose THEE best guy/company to clean your tanks. What an authoritarian on tank cleaning and maintenance.
This man is a true RV black tank expert, best I have found. Thank you for the education!
I'm from Australia, this has been very informative. All these chemicals that are expensive, I don't need, just more water. And regular clean . Thanks mate
Thx. I put a flush king in my shopping cart. I had something else, but it walked off - good old RV life at parks!
I do keep both my grey & black tanks closed. I figured that one out a couple of years ago since my grey also flushes out my black tank.
I totally forgot about the Calgon trick!
TFS! 👍
Having lived off and on more than 50 years on a sailboat, I can testify that TP is a no no. Just keep a bag in the head and throw TP away in the bag. If you close it and change it frequently, it doesn't smell, and you never ever have the problem of TP blockage. I follow our sailing protocols on our RV, and it helps!
I do t same thing as you. And……. I’m a sailor also. A small trash can lined with a Walmart bag works nicely next to the toilet in the head.
Some may not agree, but no one has complained or said anything yet.
I used to be in the Navy. Now I’m a REAL sailor. 🤪
Wow just from watching this episode you have really changed my mind about actually getting an rv and talking the plunge to full time thank you very much
Thanks Tom and Jim.... knowledge is power.... the power to maintain your stuff saves you time and money
This info is PRICELESS. So interesting to hear Jim talk about this stuff.
Watching this video for a second time. Bought all the recommended equipment here. Looking forward to applying this amazing man’s useful information. This video is gold, thank you for taking the time to share 😊
I’ve used a Flush King and water meter for years to black flush my tanks every time I dump. This guy in this video is spot on with his advice.
Thanks, Darrell!
@@kleentank I have my RV in Eloy AZ. ( just south of Phoenix )Do u have someone in this area? Or are you willing to train someone to service this area.... Thankyou I'm needing to have mine cleaned as well
I bought a flush king and a meter immediately after watching this gem of a man in a different vlog. I'm not a full timer (barely a weekend warrior in my first season) but my guilty pleasure is fill/flush/fill/flush/fill/flush until I get clear water a couple times. It's oddly satisfying lol
Thanks for this! We r new owners of a GD 2023 22mle and I now have confidence to deal with the tanks! (Mixed my first batch of the tank treatment...Smells awesome!)
I 100% agree with Jim's advice.
I do Not use chemicals, only water, and have never had any issues as long as I have water in my tanks at all times, especially while driving
Thank you! Just about to start out full time and I feel so much better now!
This video was a life saver. We just a travel trailer with tanks and we're new to all of this.
Great information on tank maintenance. Bought a Flush King,, meter, shut off valve, and a clear extension since my 3” opening in my MH sets a ways back in the compartment. ( I use the shut off valve on other things too). Works nicely. Thanks to you and Jim for the excellent video. I’ve been schooled now.
Some good info here! I never understood why people would leave their grey tank open, even for a long shower. If you are that worried you are going to fill it up how bout maybe pull the valve and dump it before the shower, problem solved. Just don't say it's easier that way, when I comes down to people just being lazy. I go as far as draining and the disconnecting my drain hoses every time and hooking them back up even when staying in the same location for weeks. Being left out in the sun every day really breaks down the hose. Also the lawn people at some park weed wack and put a hole in it. After 7 years of full time living and buying a new waste hose every year from leaks for 5 of those years. Still on the same hose for 3 years now after putting it away every time. It's not for everyone, but works great for me dumping the Grey tank once a week and the Black tank dumping and flushing once a month 👍
Excellent video for a new RV owner! No agenda, and packed full of information. I'll probably need to watch this a couple of times to absorb it all. Thank you!
This is COMPLETELY changing how we do our tanks! Thank you so much for posting this - I can't even believe all the wrong advice we followed!
Big fan of you guys and have learned a lot. I don't have a rig yet, but I'm planning for later this year. This video is probably the best learning lesson I have learned. Thanks again. I can't wait for part 2.
Thanks for your service.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I never knew this service existed. You know you can trust a guy that freely gives away all his secrets and relies on hard work and not schemes to make a living. The myths busted make total sense now that I hear the reasoning. We are picking up a new RV in a couple days. It will never see the store bought additives. Buying the flush king and water meter.
That was such an interesting video, he did such a good job of explaining what he was doing, what to look for and the myth busters too.
I purchased a 10 year old Class A about 18 months ago and have always wondered what the tanks held after 4 previous owners plus the sensors on the black tank never worked correctly. After watching this video I contacted Kleen Tank and by the next day they had contacted me back and had an appointment within the week. They came out today and wow I was surprised how bad my tanks were. According to the guy my tanks really only about a C on the scale which is better than I thought. They were very professional, friendly and did a great job both during and after cleaning up. Now my sensors work for both tanks and well worth the money and I highly recommend Kleen Tank. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
**Edit: sub'd!!
This is great!!! I am now 1 year in as a new rv'er. From go I grabbed one of the back flush valves along with that exact same black/green meter for my black/grey needs, as well as a white/blue one for my fresh tank fill.
Thank you for so much helpful knowledge, freely shared. I now believe that I have not bet traveling to my next sites with enough water left in my tanks to help agitate that gunk within each. And I have never dumped upon newly arriving. I will now always travel half full and dump and flush when I reach my next site.
I'm will be cutting back on my treatments and focusing on water, water, water!!
Hearing and seeing you do this work has turned on so many lights in my mind. Looking back over my first year of use, certain things I have experienced so far makes a lot of sense.
This is awesome. I dread dealing with the tanks. Thank you for all the good information.
BEST RV CARE VID I'VE SEEN SINCE WE'VE RV'D
This is awesome. I just bought my first RV and am trying to get RV smart and learn anything i can. I really appreciate this - will save me a ton of trouble down the road. I will start out with best practice! Thank you so much for this video.
I Love this Kleen Tank show for my RV friends!
Black tank sensor lights have been somewhat more accurate since I stopped using Happy Camper. The only time I get an "empty" reading is at the end of the season when I fill the black tank with fresh water, let it sit overnight, then drain. I always keep 5 gallons in each (34 gallon) tank when traveling. Never had a problem with gray.
Thank you so much guys for sharing the video with us I’ll learn a lot from the video I have a diesel pusher motorhome 40 foot and I always using like chemicals that I drew inside the tank the black and the gray tank and I was absolutely wrong
This was so informative! We have had a small camper for years and realize now we have been doing it all wrong😢. We just bought a class c motor home and want to take care of it properly. Thank you for all the great information.
Truly nothing better than an expert giving you the facts and advice based on experience. Thanks for this video and demonstration and education. One of the best videos if not the best video on this topic. Thanks
Such great detail. Picking up a brand new Grand Design next week, happy to put this tank mixture and practices to work. Thanks for the video!! 🍻
We owned our MH which had a 50 gal black and 70 gal gray for 14 years used it about 80 days a year racing and 78,500 miles in all. And I must say we never ever did any major cleaning or had any problems at all. We did drive a lot and it sloshed around maybe that’s why we did not have any issues.
I’m brand new to RVing and am very glad I came across this video.
Great information. Thanks so much. This is the kind of content we all appreciate.
Awesome video!! Your guests are always amazingly knowledgeable....
Thank you for sharing this video, great to know about theses myths
This was super helpful and answered a lot of our questions. Thank you! 😊
Yea this guy knows his stuff fixed my black water tank in 20 mins.
Thanks for sharing a lot of info didn't know about
This video is the Schiit. Literally. Thank you for the great documentation.
Great video! Thanks for the info!
This is great information. Thanks!
Thanks for all the great info! Will definitely be using it when we break out the 5th wheel this spring! Also a special Thanks to Jim for sharing your expertise!
Great video Tom! We enjoy your clever commentary and banter with the maintenance man. "Don't watch it!" This one is a must watch. Enjoy the journey!
LOL! 👍
Sometimes you see things you just can't unsee!
This has been the most and best knowledge video I’ve ever watched… I appreciate you and the guy and his business for educating me … thank you
Wow!!!!!! Super informative!!!! My wife and I full timed for 15 years in our Pederson Industries Excel 36E Limited, Wish I new some of this info!!!
Very educational video. I learned a lot.
Wow! What a great video. Every new RV'er needs to watch this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't even own an rv and found this video very useful. Thank you for sharing and mr kleen was awesome he's a wonderful and knowledgeable person.
I'm picking up my first RV later today, and this just saved me. I totally bought into all of the additive and disolving toilet paper hype. It makes sense though, they are holding tanks, not septic.
Great Video, Thanks for the education and breaking down all of the Myths.
Picking up our first new travel trailer, I learned a lot from this...thank you for sharing.
A lot of good information! Thanks for the education! My situation is a bit different but there's enough detail here I can adapt it to my needs.
Thank you - this was a great idea and I appreciate you sharing with us!
We have a flusher on both the grey and black tanks and use the 12oz of Pinesol and 2oz of calgon after every flush out. I also use a plastic cup of Happy Camper in my grey tank to keep the sensors clean. Have never used RV toilet paper and just added a bidet to our coach as well and it not only cuts down on the use of toilet paper, but also adds extra water which is your friend! We are going on our 10 year of full time and have had no issues with this method. The man is correct in what he suggests!
What kind of bidet do you have and where did you get it?
Isn't Happy Camper what he advises against?
I’ve been using Jim’s recipe for a year now after seeing a video from another CZcamsr. I don’t have any issues with the sensors or foul odors.
Excellent, thank you!
Great video, very very informative and learned a lot. Probably one of the most informative videos I have seen out there. Your videos are always enjoyable and educational, but this is probably your best. Thank you for putting it together as well as sharing with us.
As always, stay safe out there…..
Glad it was helpful!
Best I seen so far and I definitely will be using your services sir
Very informative! Thank you!
That was a great video. Very educational. THANK YOU.
I enjoyed the pep talk about black tank cleaning... Its nice to know that I have been doing things right for 30 years.... I always flush my tanks out (at least twice each time), I always prefer to use RV park bathrooms when possible so I reserve my black tank for night time use.... I also use a good soap and a flushing wand to "scrub" the tank.... its always nice to be able to do maintenance on the toilet and tank and not have death slime to deal with....
Awesome video Tom!! Thank you so much! Very educational.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Most informative RV video for me! I have contacted Kleen Tank to schedule a cleaning!
very interesting and educational, thank you for this video
This guy's great. Good sense of humor, down to earth.
Lots of good advice here. Just discovered you guys.
Good timing too. Picking up the new unit next week. A fresh start. 🇺🇸
Great video! I have watched a lot of videos about this subject. This by far was the best and useful information I have seen. Thanks a lot.
Awesome, thank you!
I think that putting the slide in would have made it easier for the tank cleaner guy.
An issue that Im curious about is even if you can use any type of TP in a "holding tank', you still need to dump your tanks into what is most commonly a "septic tank". At least in the midwest, most dumps have septic tanks and a drain field. Just a thought before getting that super thick TP and putting down your toilet.
This was the most awesome video I have seen for this Show!
I can't thank you enough for this video full of great information!
Amazing to learn from the professional how to take care of our RV/ homes tanks and water heaters and what NOT to do!
I was failing at the what not to do's!
Thank You, Thank You
I've purchased the recommended items as well as scheduled service from this outstanding teacher and business owner
Thank you Tom and Jim
No problem! A smart RVer is the best one. Glad you received some helpful information.
Great video! Lots of good info. I'll be implementing many of his ideas.
Wow this is very helpful, thank you for putting this video together. as been a first timer rv camper. we have a 2019 milestone, and it was always marking 2/3 when is empty. now we know. and those 8 myths wonderful.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video. And thanks to Jim too!
I wish there was one of the Kleen Tank companies here in Central Ontario.
I see there is one in Ottawa, which is too far from us, dang it.
It’s amazing how many camper trailers that have sensors that don’t work; now we know why
I just made up my Calgon/Pinesol mix and 10% capacity of water. My trailer is brand new. Glad I found this. Everything he says in this video 100% seams logical. Starting off right with a brand new RV! Thanks KEN!
Hello, what kind of Calgon did you use as I see there are a few different kinds. I live in Canada otherwise I would hire this man lol. What ratio did you use of Calgon/Pinesol? Thank you
@@sheilahughes5185 tried it, stunk... Using the normal rv treatment, just flushing my tanks good with extra water at dump.
I’m a new RV’er picking up my new trailer this month, awesome tips 😎👌
Recipe he mentioned: Mix 40 ounces of Pine-Sol with enough water to just about fill a gallon jug. Top off with a one cup or eight ounces of Calgon Bath Beads. Use eight ounces in each tank
To reduce foaming: Add the 8 ounces of Calgon first, then the 40 ounces of Pine Sol. S-L-O-W-L-Y add the water (to reduce foaming) and then shake vigorously (with the cap on, of course!). You're ready to use!
And, don't forget..to add 3-5 gallons of water into tank..
Can u use the liquid calgon instead of the beads
@@juliewellington7374 Yep! Just make sure it's Calgon from the bath department.
@@juliewellington7374I use the liquid
At our campground, we just have septic tanks in the ground. That have to be pumped out when they get full so using this method, but probably sell that septic tank in about an hour or so.
Hey thanks for this video..I just bought a NEW RV and this is great
Very good information
Thanks Tom! Your technical RV videos are always so informative. I learned a lot. By the way, tell Cherie I can't imagine why she didn't participate on this one! 😛
Thanks for an amazing video! I really learned a lot and he was extremely knowledgeable. Would you mind sharing the mixing ratios of the solution he recommended?
Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks that was so helpful
Great information! Thanks for bringing us along!
You bet!
I literally dry heaved a few times. Thank goodness I saw this video before picking my RV up next week. I am going to follow everything that he recommends!
Dramatic😂 Do you dry heave after spicy taco night and dropping that rumbling load
@@MikesGarageReviews LOL that could be possible.....BTW - I am doing very well with managing all the processes. Much better than I thought I would.
ty!ty!ty!...i feel so correctly educated on a not so discussed topic, but its reality...u gentlemen rock!!..
Great info!!!
I’ve shared with my friends… very educational
Great video, specially for newbies like me!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
