It looks like the tanks in our RV weren't dumped by the dealer even though they said they would be; in our excitement to pick up our new rig this weekend we didn't re-check the tank levels until we got all the way home (2 hours away).
The gray tank shows full, the fresh water tank shows 1/2 full.
We are going camping this coming weekend and will have access to a site with full hookups.
Here's my question: should I sanitize the fresh tank now since I don't know I can trust its status? And can I really do that with a full gray tank? Every cleaning/sanitizing procedure I've read calls for running stuff through the lines which will obviously contribute more to the gray. I don't know how full "full" is but the tank level shows all 4 out of 4 lights on.
Here's my shady newbie question: can I drain enough of the gray tank somewhere on my property or out into the road beyond my driveway to be able to sanitize the fresh tank, and then finish draining the gray when we go camping this weekend? Is that an awful idea? I do NOT want to do anything unsafe or inappropriate. I'd like to avoid delaying the whole sanitizing process until we arrive at the campground; even the 2-part sanitizer procedure I've read about seems like it'll at least take a few hours to run through.
Thanks in advance!
