Use 3-4 sheets of "marine" or "rv" tp (and your guests need to do the same - that's the hard part) and you will be fine. While you pump out, have someone standing by the toilet and about when you...

LOL!!! Yep, I have had that said to me, too. I know many boat owners who follow this rule, too. They know how to use just 3 or 4 sheets of tp at a time, but their guests don't! Once when on a...

There is NO gray water tank on any boat I have sailed. The gray water goes down drains and goes into the surrounding water via through-hulls (by gravity).

Almost always the black water tank is...

You've got it! Agree wholeheartedly.

See too many BBQs on boats sitting out in the rain - not even a cover. If you take care of it, an inexpensive BBQ will last a long time

Yss, marine products are great, but often they $$$$ and that's because of the marine environment - temp, humidity, moisture, vibration - they are in. Often times overkill IMO for an RV.
