RV Dump Station Basics for Beginners - Dual Outlet RVs
If you are a newbie to RVing, it can be a bit stressful when it is time to head to the dump station. This is especially true if you have people in line behind you who are watching and waiting for you to complete the process. In this video, I provide 12 steps to effectively dump your tanks. While following these steps will probably not make visiting the dump station one of your favorite parts of an RV adventure, they should help minimize some of the stress that can accompany such visits! If you have an RV with a single outlet for both the gray and black holding tanks I have a specific video that shows this process.

James, thanks for the comment. Glad the video was helpful!
Nice video. For those RV's that have a "shared" black and grey outlet... I recommend releasing the grey valve first, just long enough to know that all connections are tight. Then proceed with to fully drain the black tank followed with the grey. If something is going to let loose, I'd rather have the grey water all over me than black water!! I learned this from someone else's experience, thank goodness.

John, great video with easy to follow steps; I, also, like that you've included the checklist in the description area. I found the "staging" of supplies, especially, useful, as well as using "disposable" gloves; don't like storing gloves (even if washable) that have been used for dumping in with other supplies/equipment. A very good idea to wipe down (sanitize) the black tank flush hose to the non-potable water hose at the station. You've done a great service, especially for newbies! Y'all Be Safe!

hey John, video looks great! Very thorough (and BTW we have been to those falls, that's a nice area). I like the pre-staging idea... definitely lower stress when you don't need to search for what you need. I don't always simultaneously flush the black tank but agree it's great to do so whenever you have the chance. Good idea to make that point.

@JohnMarucci

Jennifer, Sorry for the delayed response as sometimes KZread hides these comments inside other comments. I think you are asking which tank to drain first? If so, the black tank always first, then the gray tank. If you are asking where to put the hose after dumping tanks, then I use a container or 5-gallon bucket to store the dump hose after use. If I missed the question, please feel free to ask again!

@@JohnMarucci I had the same question (I think). It reads to me like he’s asking where on the camper do you connect the hose for non potable water while you are draining and flushing the black water tank. I’m assuming it’s not the city water connection? All I seem to have is a fresh water input and a city water connection. Do all campers have a sewer connection?
