You have enjoyed boondocking at your favorite nature site and are coming home. The last thing you need to do is stop and dump your black and grey tanks before you park your RV in your spot at home. You pull into the dumpsite—you have done this multiple times without any problem—remove the waste cap cover, and before you get a chance to pull the valve handle, you are baptized with a rush of black or grey water. Out of your mouth come a few words you rarely say, but they accurately convey the moment's sentiment. You may say this has never happened to me. But it is only a matter of time until a small amount of debris gets stuck in the seal of your gate valve or it fails altogether.
The good news is that there is a way to prevent you from having that experience. First, make sure that you use a good waste digester. We recommend Unique's RV Digest-It. Second, use a drain screen to catch food solids that would end up in your grey tank. But the ultimate safeguard is to add an external Twist On Waste Valve to your 3" termination fitting and put your waste cap cover on the extra valve. The additional gate valve will protect you from being baptized with black or grey water.
This valve costs around $32.00, and we have them in stock. We aim to provide you with products and information to take the hassle out of RVing and enable you to enjoy your travel adventures.
