black tank flush?

I searched the the Escape site and did not find if the 17 and 19's have a black tank flush.

thanks

The tank flush is not standard in any Escape, but an aftermarket item.....

FWIW I have one of those cheapo Camco plastic flushing wands. I drag out the hose, attach the wand, stuff it down the toilet and flush it out when the level indicator probes stop working reliably(usually after about 4 - 6 camping trips). This seems to clean off the probes and get them working again plus it removes the built up solids that are in the corners. Does a black tank need to be perfectly clean? No, but no point in carrying a bunch of gook around either plus if it gets the level probes working....

Some one told me one time to fill the tank about half full with water and throw a couple of those dishwasher pods in, then drive around for a while.
Never tried it but he swore that it worked great.
