BLACK TANK
TIPS AND TRICKS
How to know if toilet paper is safe for RV holding tanks?
Use the proper toilet paper for RV waste water tanks. Although it isn’t
necessary to purchase expensive toilet paper in an RV supply store, it’s
important to use toilet paper that will disintegrate easily in water. Only dump
when tanks are nearly full. When parking at a campground, hook up your
sewer line if you wish, but don’t open the valves to dump until your tank is at
least two thirds full. This will ensure that the weight of the collected waste
water pushes everything through the lines rather than building up a little at a
time and causing a clog. Keeping the valves closed until you are ready to
dump will also keep the smells of the sewer system from drifting up into your
RV.
Ice cube trick. This is a trick that some RVers use to loosen a stubborn
build-up that’s deposited on the bottom of the black water tank. Add
several gallons of water to the tank and dump in a bag of ice cubes. Take
your rig for a drive of 5 or 10 miles. The ice cubes bouncing around in the
tank will help loosen any buildup and you’ll be able to dump the residue
easily.
Dump black tanks, then gray tanks. When dumping your tanks, always
dump the black water tank first, then the gray water. The soapy gray
water will help to rinse out your hoses. Flush through some clean water to
rinse residue out of tank and hoses, but be sure all rinse water goes into
the campground sewer connection. Never rinse hoses and let water flow
onto the ground around the tank.

RV NEWS
New, Younger Buyers are Pushing OEMs for Smaller RVs
By: RVBusiness|Published on: Jan 3, 2022|Categories: Today’s Industry News|
RVing isn’t just for retirees anymore, according to a report by Business Insider.
Millennials and Gen Zers are making life on the road cool again. And this rise in
younger RVers is changing the industry.
Many new owners are now significantly younger than the stereotypical Baby
Boomer driving a bulky RV. And now, RV makers are scrambling to cater to this
younger demographic.
In general, RV ownership has been steadily rising. But the number of buyers in the
18 to 34-year-old age range has grown “significantly,” and now makes up 22% of
current RV owners, according to data from the RV Industry Association. And of the
current millennial and Gen Z owners, 84% have said they want to purchase a new
unit in the next five years, making this younger batch of road travelers — who often
enjoy more tech and leisure add-ons — a prime target for RV makers.
“As we get into this next generation of buyers, the millennial generation is larger
than the boomers, so we see this as a long-term opportunity for the entire
industry,” Bob Martin, president and CEO of Thor Industries, said on CNBC’s
“Closing Bell” in March.
While Gen Zers and millennials have been flocking to life on the road, Class B and
smaller Class C motorhomes have been rising in prominence.
Production, sales, and public interest in the Class B RV, better known as camper
vans, has grown quickly and “significantly” through the past two years, Monika
Geraci, a spokesperson for RVIA, told Insider in a statement. However, it should
be noted that camper vans still only make up only a little over 2% of all RV
shipments.
Now, legacy RV makers are looking for ways to draw in the younger crowd by
producing smaller builds.
