We move Park to Park varying times between 7 and 14 nights and with full hookups. I have gotten in the habit, laziness, of leaving my 2 grey tanks open until 2 - 3 days before I dump the black tank. Normally weekly depending on travel day. I be sure to have a couple of showers and a couple of days washing dishes saved in the grey tanks prior to dumping the black.
My wife read an article that this practice could cause tank “gunk” buildup, in the grey tanks, and eventually clog the water flow. Should I be concerned? How do you full-time travelers maintain your tanks? I don’t use the gauges because the “full” lights came on in all 3 tanks about the 5th day of our first use and remain showing full regardless of what we do. We even use Dawn exclusively for washing dishes but no help. I just use a calendar rather than the indicated lights.
