False Reading Black Tanks

[padlin]

I dump at the last place we camp at before getting home. When home, if needed I clean out the toilet throat and blast the bottom of the tank. I then dump that into a 5 gallon bucket, usually about 1/2 way, and dump it in the house toilet. I've been doing it long enough where it doesn't bother me.

Once in a while Ive needed to take a drive to the waste disposal plant in the next town where it stinks but it's free to dump.

yes but when you clean out the toilet at home don't you have to dump it after?-hitch up and haul to a dump station? or just leave it ?

We are lucky a few years back had a trenchless system installed that goes to the street .From the 1994 earthquake a section of the clay sewer broke .so at each end we have a cleanout per our city code . We can hook up to sewer at home . Yes we dump into the clean outs at home . The trenchless system is what the city uses but larger plumbing pipes . Ours is 5 in in diameter . It is one continuous pipe running from the house snub down to the street sewer . We have 2 clean outs , one near the snub at house and the other down nearer the street sewer hookup. Very handy . During 1994 Earthquake lived in our little motorhome for 6-7 mo in driveway . Once a week had to move motorhome and go and dump . Now we can hook to sewer at home . Pat
