Come on guys!!! It's a holding tank not a fresh water tank. Most people find they hardly ever have to back flush. Once a season? Sure. Seriously you have no need to get that tank clear water clean every time you camp. You are just making work for yourself. And I would never hold up a line at a park so I can do that.

We use our trailer almost every month and for a couple months full-time in the summer. I back flush once a year. Never in the summer when we are living in it. For those winter trips, I drain, put a couple gallons and some Happy Camper back in it and am ready for the next trip. Never smells, everything drains. Why make so much work for yourself?
