You will find this at National parks and National campgrounds. Sometimes they have a wand with a compression fitting or just a hose with no fitting at all. I lose more water than I use trying to hold this up to my RV inlet that wants a garden hose type connection.

Then, after quite a bit of water builds up, more of the solids and toilet paper come out in a rush. After a while the clear water appears. Is this normal. I would think that quite a bit more should come out prior to flushing. The way it is it makes it difficult when there is no sewer hook-up at the site. I only get a partial dump into a Rhino waste tank leaving most of the solids in the RV black tanl..

Hello Martha,

Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:

There are septic tank cleaner companies that can drain the tank from the toilet so the valves can be worked on. This is the best thing to do if the valve can’t open. Most of the time if you can gain access to the valve directly attached to the plumbing you can use pliers to pry it open. If the valve is actually ceased, you will have to take apart the housing to replace the valve and it is best to make sure the tank is empty before you attempt this. I would keep working at the valve and maybe even travel around to see if it can work it’s way loose. Even using a heavier tank digester can help free the valve too.

Dan
