Re: [A/S] Re: LINGERING INTERIOR ODOR



well, um er.

If you're running your toilet right, enough liquid gets in there to 
float the solids and toilet paper around until they dissolve and will 
drain right out.

If you use a lot of toilet paper or keep emptying the black tank before 
it needs it, a pile of shall we say turd papier mache ends up right 
under the toilet, and because it's dry, it stays there.

To prevent it,float it: don't leave the black tank valve open all the 
time, don't empty your tank before it needs it "just in case", and don't 
use too much toilet paper.

For just me, I can go a week or more on my tank ( forget the gal right 
now) also for me,# 1 toilet paper goes in zip lock in trash, not in 
toilet. Some do this with all toilet paper.

If you get it, fill the tank with water and drive. Or I hear put ice 
cubes down there and drive.

I never met a guage that didn't lie, if you look down the hole, you can 
see if it's full.

It's all fun and games until you can't go to the bathroom...
