How often should you clean your rv holding tanks?
It is recommended to clean your RV’s tanks at least once a year, or more often if you use your RV frequently. The frequency of cleaning will depend on how much you use your RV and how much waste is generated.
Here are some general guidelines for how often to clean your RV’s tanks:
-
Black water tank: This tank should be cleaned every 3-5 uses, or at least once a month if you use your RV frequently.
-
Gray water tank: This tank should be cleaned every 5-7 uses, or at least every 3 months if you use your RV frequently.
-
Fresh water tank: This tank should be cleaned every 2-3 months, or as needed if you notice any buildup or discoloration.
It’s important to keep your tanks clean to prevent unpleasant odors, clogs and leaks, and to maintain the overall sanitation of your RV. Additionally, some RV parks and campgrounds may require that your tanks are cleaned before you can use their facilities.
It’s a good idea to invest in a good quality RV tank cleaning wand to help make the cleaning process easier. It’s also important to use proper cleaning solutions to help break down waste and buildup in the tanks.
It’s also important to regularly inspect your RV’s tanks for any leaks or damage, and address any issues as soon as they are detected.
