  • Do NOT refer to RV’s as “vehicles,” instead, use the term “RV.” RV is the catch-all word to describe travel trailers, toy haulers, 5th wheels, etc.
  • A trailer RV should be called a “travel trailer” or “RV” since it is attached to the bumper of a truck or SUV.
  • Motorhomes don’t need leveling as they are driveable and sit on all 4 tires.
  • Don’t use the term “motorcoach,” instead use RV.
  • Use the term “RV” for basically everything but a stand-alone motorhome that is driveable.

RV Water Tank Cleaning, Demystified

Does the thought of cleaning your RV water tanks give you a big case of the procrastinations? You aren’t alone. It’s a task that many RV owners put off consistently, but it’s absolutely necessary. While there is no getting around the 5 to 10 hours until the job is done, RV water tank cleaning is an easy task, and your active working time is only about an hour. That’s manageable, right?

Drain All Water

To begin, follow these steps to drain the water from your hot water heater, water lines and holding tank.

  • Turn off power and extinguish gas pilot.
  • Remove hot water heater’s drain plug as well as cold and hot water line plugs located at the low points in the lines.
  • Open faucets and flush toilet several times, closing faucets when water stops coming out.
  • Empty all water from fresh water tank by opening drain and turning on water pump just long enough to push out remaining water.
  • Don’t forget to go back and close drains after water has been removed.

Flush With Bleach Solution and Wait

Next, you are going to flush the fresh water tank with diluted bleach or tank cleaner to sanitize it. The general rule for a bleach solution is to use one cup of bleach for each 10 gallons your water tank holds. Always mix the bleach with several gallons of water to dilute it prior to pouring it in the tank. Then use clean water to fill the tank the rest of the way.

Switch on the water pump and open every faucet in your RV. Allow water to run until you smell bleach quite strongly, and then close all faucets. Top off the water tank with fresh water and let it sit for a minimum of four hours. Leaving it for 8-12 hours or overnight is best.

Flush and Refill With Fresh Water

After sanitizing, turn on the water pump and run all water systems until the tank is drained. Refill with fresh water and run through faucets until the bleach smell is completely gone. After flushing the bleach out, fill with fresh, potable water.

Now you’re finished cleaning water tanks. The water should be clean and ready to drink, and you can get back to enjoying your RV vacation.
