Introducing Marvin — your lovable Stinky Slinky here to talk dirty… about staying clean!

Keeping your sewer hose in top shape is Marvin’s mission, and it’s as easy as 1-2-3:
1️⃣ Start with Grey Water – Let a little grey water slide through Marvin to lubricate the hose.
2️⃣ Release the Black Tank – Time to let it flow. Marvin’s built for the big jobs.
3️⃣ Grey Water Again – Finish strong with a rinse to wash out any remaining debris.

💡 Pro Tip: Starting with grey water not only l***s the hose, it helps check for leaks before the black tank hits!

Keep Marvin fresh, functional, and flowing — your tanks (and nose) will thank you!

RV Tanks Winter Build Up!

🚐❄️ The Hidden Dangers of Winter Build-Up: Why Your RV Tanks Need a Fresh Start 🛠️🚿

Winter can be tough on your RV, but while you’re focused on maintaining your exterior, plumbing, and appliances, your holding tanks may be silently accumulating hidden dangers. If your black and gray tanks weren’t thoroughly cleaned before winter storage, you could be dealing with harmful bacteria 🦠, waste buildup 💩, and lingering odors 💨 that can cause serious problems when you hit the road again.

1️⃣ Waste Buildup & Hardening in Cold Temperatures 🧊

Even if you drained your black and gray tanks before winter, small amounts of residual waste often remain. Over time, these residues harden and cling to the tank walls, especially in cold weather, making them difficult to remove with regular flushing. In some cases, solidified waste can create stubborn clogs 🚫 that block proper drainage.

2️⃣ Bacteria Growth & Unpleasant Odors 🤢

Many assume freezing temps stop bacteria, but some survive and become active when temperatures rise—leading to strong, unpleasant odors 💨 when you start using your tanks again. Mold and mildew 🦠 thrive in gray tanks, where food particles, grease, and soap scum create the perfect breeding ground.

3️⃣ Sensor Malfunctions Due to Residue Build-Up 🚦

RV tank sensors are notorious for false readings, and a major cause is waste residue 🏗️ left from improper cleaning. During winter, leftover waste dries and sticks to sensor probes, leading to inaccurate readings. If your empty tank still reads “full” 📊, it’s likely due to buildup.

4️⃣ Lingering Sewer Gas in Your RV ☠️

If your RV smells like sewage 🚽 when you open it up in the spring, trapped sewer gases might be the cause. Black and gray tanks contain methane and hydrogen sulfide 💀, which can seep into your RV’s living space if seals dry out or vents get blocked. This isn’t just gross—it can be a health hazard ⚠️.

5️⃣ Potential for Clogs & Valve Issues 🔧

Built-up waste and grease can lead to thicker sludge at the bottom of your black and gray tanks. If left unchecked, this sludge hardens, leading to blockages 🚧 in your tank and sewer hoses. Plus, valve seals can dry out and crack in cold weather, causing leaks 💦 or difficulty opening/closing your tank valves.

🌟 Start the season fresh! A thorough professional tank cleaning 🏆 will help prevent these issues and keep your system running smoothly. Don’t wait until problems arise—flush out winter’s buildup now!

🚫 Why You Should Never Leave Your RV Gate Valves Open

Leaving your black or gray tank valves open might seem convenient… but it creates a perfect storm of problems inside your RV.

Here’s what really happens:

👉 Pyramid Plug Build-Up
Liquids escape first, solids stay behind, and before long you’ve got a hardened “pyramid plug” forming in your tank. This leads to blockages, odors, and expensive clean outs.

👉 Sewer Gases Come Right Back Inside
With the valve open, campground sewer gases have a direct path into your RV.
That rotten-egg smell? 100% preventable.

👉 Sewer Flies / Drain Flies Can Enter Your Plumbing
Leaving the valve open invites sewer flies to travel up through the campground sewer and into your RV.
Once they get inside, they multiply fast — and they’re a nightmare.

👉 Your Sensors Get Gunked Up
When valves stay open, waste dries on the sensors and causes false readings.
People think their sensors are “broken,” but really they just need the tanks used correctly or professionally cleaned.

👉 If the Campground Has a Backup… Guess Where It Goes?
Right. Back into YOUR RV.
An open gate valve is basically an open door for a sewage backup to flow straight into your holding tanks — and up through your plumbing.

👉 Tanks Can’t Flush Properly
Your tanks are designed to fill, build pressure, and push waste out all at once.
With the valve open, solids never get the chance to leave.

⸻

Best Practice from the Pros:

✔️ Keep both gate valves CLOSED until the tank is at least 2/3 full
✔️ Use Liquified to break down waste, lubricate sensors, and reduce odor
✔️ Schedule a professional hydro-jet cleaning if you’re already dealing with odors, slow flow, or sensor issues

Thinking about switching RV tank additives? 🧪🚽
Here’s something most RVers don’t realize…

Many tank additives do NOT play well with each other.
When you mix enzyme-based products with detergents, deodorizers, or chemical-heavy treatments from previous use, they can actually work against each other — and what they create isn’t pretty.

👉 The result?
• Strong, unpleasant odors
• Thick sludge buildup on tank walls
• Poor breakdown performance
• False sensor readings
• A tank that never really feels “clean”

That’s why we recommend having your tanks professionally cleaned before switching additives. A proper hydro-jetting gives your new product a clean, neutral environment so it can work the way it’s supposed to — without fighting leftover chemicals or bacteria-killing agents.

If you’re planning to switch additives or try something new, this is the perfect time to start fresh.

If you have, or will get a “new to you RV”, consider getting those tanks cleaned. I had a customer recently that had only had their rig a few weeks and were experiencing clogs. Went and found this clog of wipes packed rock solid. You just don’t know what the previous owners put in there. Start your journey with a clean slate.
