black tank flush

[hippy]

does anyone know if it is possible to add a black tank flush system to a trailer??

I added one to my 2008 Keystone Outback. I cut a "window" in the under panel so I could access the black tank and then sealed it back up with "Gorilla Tape".
It worked very well.

If you have a sewer hose attachment. you can use a Flush King- I like it alot.

thanks for replys, now mike where did u get the flush kit, and how do u attach to black tank?? Puttin, what is a flush king?? some king of throne toilet for a king?? how does it work? My trailer toilet jams up constantly, and when u look down the hole the plastic tube extends almost all the way to the bottom of tank causing problems. do u guys think i should remove toilet and shorten tube a bit? my last Kingsport had the same setup and problem. thanks for your input

There are several ways to skin a cat.

We always used a simple sprayer attachment to a garden hose. Put that gizmo down into the toilet and turn on the water. The water pressure will spray in all directions down inside the black tank and loosen anything stuck, which then flows out the drain hose. Worked fine for us.

We got the sprayer gizmo from an RV supply store. We keep it in a plastic bucket in the bathroom when not in use. No need to get fancy and permanently install a flush system. Here's one version:

I got mine from Camping World, it's called a Camco Quickie Flush. All the necessary parts for mounting are in the kit except for some silicone sealer to make sure there are no leeks.

Thanks Mike, found it at camping world for 25 bucks. I like the idea of cutting window, as i dont really want to drop the underbelly.

hippy, Sorry for the late response- here's the Flush King. I've been using it for years...works great!

Sorry, here it is.

I have used the wand a couple of times because my blk tank sensors were reading full when the tank was empty. Seams that it solved my problem but never liked the idea on walking thru the camper with a hose and some water that drips on the floor no matter how careful you are. The flush king looks like a good idea
