There are many joys to owning an RV, but learning how to empty your RV tanks at a dump station is not one of those. But have no fear! Our Outrig service team are experts at emptying RV tanks and will walk your through the entire process step by step:

1. Remove The Dump Cap

Be sure to hook up your sewer hose and check the other end is secure at the drain. We recommend to check the sewer hose twice before proceeding to avoid any unwanted messes!

2. Pull The Blank Tank Handle

Pull the handle very slowly and let it empty all of the way. This is the tank that holds the worst stuff so make sure to get it all out before moving ahead with the next step.

3. Pull The Gray Tank Handle

This is the handle that rinses out the hose with soap and water. Be sure to complete this step to keep everything sanitized and avoid any bacteria from growing in the hose.

4. Hook Your Black Tank Flush

If your RV has a black tank flush, hook that up, and let it run with the black tank valve still open. This will be the finishing touch to clean out any lingering stuff inside.

5. Disconnect The Hose

Now that you have finished, slowly disconnect the hose. Rinse off both ends and let everything drain out. Close both tank valves, pop the cap on, and you're good to go. You've officially learned to empty your RV tanks!

It's not a glamorous RV task, but it is certainly a necessary one that will keep your rig fresh and on the road.
