    Hey Brittany, you're doing great! They're called 'wheel chocks'. Also, remember to cross your chains underneath before attaching them. It gives xtra support. I was told this when I purchased my first travel trailer. I'm on my 3rd one now. I'm here if you have any questions.

    Here's a tip: you always dump the black tank first and then the grey tank so that the sudsy water flushes out the hose. As for the black tank, to keep things from sticking, use RV toilet tissue and pour a capful of Dawn (yes, dish detergent) and Calgon down your toilet after you've flushed about a gallon or 2 of water into the tank after dumping. This will help the solids not stick to the black tank. Also, you can also pour a bag of ice down the black tank after emptying when you're going to be traveling a few hours to help loosen up anything that's stuck. The friction will help unstick the gunk. You're doing a great job!

    We all have to learn, and we sometimes learn by making mistakes. Not all RV's have a black water flush, mine certainly does not. However, I use an enzyme called "Happy Camper" for both my black and gray tanks and I've never had any smell. I'm very proud you, a lot of people are just too intimated to tow a trailer, backup hookup and unhook. It think it's a good idea to create a personal check list because it's so easy to forget something when it comes to packing up. I've been doing this for a while and I still sometimes forget to secure the TV, lock the shower door etc. You did a great job!

    Hey Brittany, If you're that close to the dump hole you don't need to use both of the red hoses to dump your waste. Only use one of the red hoses. I made that mistake the first time as well. People waiting behind me came up and told me not to connect both of the red hoses, just use one of them since I was so close to the dumping station. Just a tip. 🙂 You're doing a great job!

  • @billyflood2430

    people are always going to have something crazy to say who don't even OWN a trailer. YOU GOT THIS! I will say if you get tired of the flushing poop stuff- there are toilet liners you can use and they come out just like a garbage bag and you can just toss them. No hoses needed. Also yes they have pads in them so that you can urinate in them also. Just in case you get tired of all the hose mess and caked in fecal matter in the cassette or tank etc.

    The first time dumping tanks is an experience. A few tips: i) wear gloves before you touch ANYTHING related to dumping; ii) don’t sweat it, as it’s just s$&t; iii) get a couple of the orange sewer tube “keys” to make connecting/disconnecting sewer tubes and caps MUCH easier on your hands; and iv) use the tongue “foot” to lift/lower your trailer up/down in the front so all the water in your black/grey tanks will empty completely.😊

    Hello. Here's a little poopoo tank tip I used for years. Once every three or so dumps, put a bag of cubed ice in tank after it's emptied and drive for a few miles then black tank flush again and dump. This will get any yuckies that are stuck on walls of the blank tank. It worked fabulously. This is another trick my dad taught me. Happy trails to you young lady!!

    Usually truck stops cut their outside water sources off during winter months to keep from dealing with frozen water and busted pipes. Once the season changes they will be back on. I'm a trucker and I have notice this over the years from multiple truck stops where temperatures get cold in winter time.

    Glad you’re willing to take the plunge and get things done! One word of advice is you need to adjust the torque on your drill to a higher number. That way it won’t “freeze” as you call it or stop too soon. The drill is working like it’s supposed to under your current torque setting. Happy travels!

  • @nancydurrett9319
    @nancydurrett9319 Рік тому +1

    You did great for your first time. Just a FYI there are sensors inside the tank so if “stuff” gets on the sensors the monitor system will show that it’s 1/3rd full when it’s actually empty. Also, what I do when I empty my tank is once I have the hose hooked up I will open the gray tank just to check that it is connected correctly and if anything spews out it will be dish or bath water and not crap 💩 and it also coats the inside of the hose with soapy water so stuff is less likely to stick to the inside of the hose. Then once I know it’s connected correctly and it’s all good I open the black tank and let that empty and once that is done I empty the rest of the gray tank. This way it will clean out the hose. Also, when there is a water hose available that actually has water running to it (that business where you went shouldn’t have charged you the full amount, shame on them) I fill up the black tank and then drain it again. Be careful if you fill your black tank from the outside (to flush it) my nephew has a fifth wheel and was emptying his black tank and has the hose hooked up to fill the black tank from outside and I guess he was working at the time and on a conference call and the tank filled up and the toilet overflowed all over in the inside of the trailer, WHAT A MESS!! Hopefully that will never happen to you or me 😂.

    Hello all
    Another yt Carolyn's RV life mention TP that is septic tank safe is ok to use in a RV. Don't forget to use black tank enzymes cleaner. It helps to breakdown the waste in the black tanks. (Not the Pooh smell good stuff that you showed us.) It makes the solids more liquidity.
    Can't wait for your next new RV owner experience. 🌹

    Hello Brittany,
    You should buy you some “reliance double doodie bags.”
    When you have to defecate or urinate, do it in the doodie bag and throw it out in the trash just as you would with a babies diaper.
    You will not have to worry about dumping!
    You will be so happy!
    I had an RV and I am also a Veteran.
    I hope that this helps you.
