Just curious, how long does it take you to empty your RVs black tank? I get anxiety every time I do it if there’s a line because I feel like I take too long.
This will be different for everybody, but the honest answer is – as long as is needed. Dump your black tank then your grey tank, then clean up. If you always fill your black tank with roughly 10% water after dumping and use enough water when you flush, dumping is quick and easy (Of course, the time it takes depends on tank capacity and so on). If there’s not a line of RVs waiting behind you, go ahead and flush your tanks if needed. But I typically wait to do this at campgrounds with full hookups.
It usually takes me 15 minutes or so but it will vary on the size of your tanks, how full they are, etc. Agree with Tory above, keep the line moving and, if possible, flush your tanks when you have full hookups. If you’re not going to a spot with full hookups anytime soon, then properly rinse your tank if needed. Will it take longer? Yes. But it is what it is.
