When we park for one or two days should we connect to the sewer or not? I am finding that if I don't I get an odor but today, hooked up to the sewer I still get a slight odor?

Also, the old standby advise about waiting until your black holding tank is at least 3/4 full before dumping is good advise....make sure your gray water is about half full so you can dump that tank after dumping the black water tank so you can rinse out any solids in the hose.

He had to dump daily (he had a big 5er) because of his water usage. If I were to venture a guess, it would be that the majority of RVers WILL use chemicals.
I follow a semi-Geo method. Semi because in extremely hot weather I will ALWAYS use some chemicals.

I have NEVER met another RVer who didn't use chemicals.
