Hi All:
Several have asked about my wife's "recipe". Soo, here it is below.
Try it - you will like it!
Safe, easy, economical, and most of all extremely effective.
Safe Travels and stay odoriferous!

> Dear GMC Family,
>
> Several people have approached Mike & me about my "Recipe" I've used since 1971. It has successfully kept my 16 motorhomes smelling fresh & sanitized before meeting Mike, & now 5 more GMCs since we got married 4 1/2 years ago.
>
> I know a lot of the guys prefer using ice cubes, but that process doesn't kill germs or leave a fresh clean smell. We have literally given away "dozens" of Recipe jugs in the past. Now you can make your own & some to share. 😀
>
> I like to use a heavy plastic gallon container (like an empty Cheer Laundry Detergent jug, or something similar). Fill container about 3/4 full with water - I don't measure. Add a "good squeeze" of liquid Dawn Detergent - any color- it's a good grease cutter. Then add 3/4 - 1 cup of LEMON LYSOL, as it has a fresh clean smell, & kills germs. Taa daa, that's it. (Just be sure you mark your jug "The Recipe" so it doesn't get used for your laundry.
>
> Now here's what's important (in my humble opinion) as Ken Henderson says....
>
> When you're at a campground with hookups, you can put your sewer hose or macerator hose into the dump thingy, but don't pull the plunger or flip the switch until you're ready to actually dump. Things can get in the way, if you know what I mean. Also, if you have 2 tanks, dump your black water first, then follow with your fresh water. This helps things flow better. Most of you guys already know that, but we thankfully have lots of "newbies", so we can't assume.
>
> So now you've dumped. Great! Now you're ready for the next process....
>
> With the sewer hose still in the dump receptacle outside, step on the toilet pedal & let water run through the toilet for maybe 10 seconds. This helps rinse the sewer line. Next, pour "half" of the "Recipe" down the toilet. (You'll probably want to shake the container first, as some settling may have occurred). Then step on the toilet pedal again for about 10 seconds. This will make your sewer hose disinfected & rinsed clean. Now you can close the plunger or turn off the macerator switch.
>
> Note: If you're staying hooked up at a campground or facility for several days, you may want to "dump & rinse", & just put in about 1/4 of the recipe to keep things fresh while you're parked.
>
> BUT.....when you're ready to break camp, there's one more step.....
>
> Follow dumping procedures as advised above, with one addition. After final dump, rinse, Recipe & rinse, close the valve. Your hose is ready to be stowed away all fresh & clean. Finally, I drop one of those RV Toilet Treatment Drop-In packets into the toilet, pour in the 2nd half of "The Recipe" & a little more water. This will slosh around while you're driving down the road & sanitize your holding tank. NEVER EVER HAVE AN EMPTY, DRY HOLDING TANK!
>
> BTW.... I don't like the blue liquid treatments, as they stain your fingers. And I don't like the powder, as it can go up your nose when you pour it in. Yep, been there, done that, don't want to do it again.
>
> Hope you enjoyed Recipe Class 101. May you have MANY stress free, odor free trips with your friends & family! See ya down the road.

I'd be reluctant to use my dump with that since it's a septic tank. I'd be worried the Lysol might kill off the working bacteria. Have you had any problems with one, or are you on city sewerage?

A lot of the show venues are electric only. And the closest dump top the house was several miles away so I trenched into the house outfall and added a dump. I don't put anything in the tank which hasn'
t already been eaten. Or washed.

Johnny B.:
Understood - and good on ya for solving the problem in the easiest way. We really like the "Recipe" but I would not recommend it for any body dumping into their home septic sys.!
Love your "rule of thumb".
We don't put toilet paper or #2 in our GMC's unless an absolute emergency (in the case of #2) - just makes it a lot easier to deal w/ all the way round!
