I thought P-traps were supposed to prevent that

To each their own.. I personally turn it off every night so it doesn't cycle on and startle my wife (😆) and then I leave it off until the first use of the day and leave it on for convenience until that night. Hardly uses battery if it's left on and the lines are already pressurized.

@@spencerjones4328 thanks but what about those late night trips to pee lol

Lol. Well the toilets don't work like traditional ones. When you step on the pedal it just DROPS down. So if you turn off the switch, you can do 2 or 3 "late night trips to pee" with enough pressure in the line. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@spencerjones4328 cool thanks for the reply!!

Right! Sorta... Black tank has solids and the grey tank doesn't. That's really the "logic". Run some extra water if you're having smelling or leaking problems/concerns. Sometimes we put chemicals in the tank just to dump it again after a drive.

Yuck. Too funny...

Good question. If it's from fresh water using the pump then you need only battery. If the batteries are dead then you'll need generator or plug in to shore power to make the pump work and to recharge your batteries. If it's city water, then you don't need anything else. Batteries can be off on of the RV entirely and it will still work since it's being pressurized from the city connection. 👍

It's pretty universal. May not always be the case, like, some small trailers only have a water pump and no city water. But for the typical RV: Yes. They're almost always built that way.

Okay thank you. That helps quite a bit :)

That's hard to answer because there are a lot of other factors. How often are you using the toilet? How often are you using water to wash dishes or prepare meals? How often do you use water to wash other things (like rinsing sand off of your feet from the beach)? It's a matter of everything adding up. Even then, with a family of 4 that's moderately conservative with water use, it'll last a few days. If you use a lot of water for all of those other things, we've had some families call us thinking there was a hole in the water tank! Check your monitors and that'll give you a gauge of how much water you're consuming before you have to refill.

you’re*

@@qqxnb1828 you’re right lol. I had only my flash on with my squinting eyes.

@@LondonKeelany no worries just here to help

Have your fresh water tank full before heading out. When you get setup turn the water pump on when you need to run water. But always make sure to purge all the air out of the water heater before turning it on!!

@@jamesglenn520 thank You !

@@robertdean6222 We actually purge the whole system before we head out. That way the 5-6 gallons to fill the water heater is already on board. Depending on how long you plan to stay 6gal. can make a big difference. If that all makes sense 🤔

@@jamesglenn520 Yes that makes sense thank you, is there a purge valve on the hot water tank or should I just open the hot water on each Spicket to purge it? I have a 22 J JAYCO model.

@@robertdean6222 There should be the pressure pop off valve towards the top or just turn on a hot faucet. The on-board pump from your tank will take a little bit to fill it. Then you can top off the tank.

Yes you can if you're plugged into 30 power and possibly when you are adapted down (would depend on overall energy demand of your PC along with the other components of the RV). If you wanted to use it while travelling or not plugged into 30+ amps, you'll need an RV with a generator on board and the same things apply with the demand of your other appliances (Air Conditioner takes a lot of juice from the generator). I wouldn't recommend trying to run off of battery unless you own one and you plan on a lot of batteries and solar panels. These guys were the OG's when it came to answering the question if you can run anything and everything off of battery and solar, and as you can see, a lot is involved to get to that level. ua-cam.com/video/B0rZY5uotKI/v-deo.html

You have no idea how many times we rehearsed that shot...

Thank you! #WaveAndGrabGolfballFromTheHole

You can leave the grey tank open. But you'll want to leave the black tank closed until it has enough content in it before opening the valve. I wait until at least 1/3 full before opening it. This helps keep enough fluids in the black tank when you pull the valve, it pulls out all of the solid contents as well. If you leave it open, you have what we call a "pyramid" of a mess.

@@spencerjones4328 I get what you're saying. 💩 I've heard that the sensors can be a little deceiving, especially in black tanks because of "stuff" getting stuck on or near the sensors. Is this true?

@@prestoncox Definitely. Happens all of the time. Which is why we always put chemicals and some water in the tanks so as you drive it continues to care for the tanks and try to clean off the sensors as much as possible. But even then, if you drive the RV with water and chemicals in the toilet, sensors could read full at the end of the drive. It should drop down to empty about an hour after you park.

Yes. I mean.. hmmm I don’t think the pop ups😭 but yeah they’re all pretty much the same

Well shoot. Which details did you want us to cover? We're currently collecting ideas for future videos and your feedback would be great.

YW!

YW!

"Yes Sir!" Lol!
