Hi Lee, welcome to the forum.

The nice thing about one tank is that there is nothing to manage. When it fills up to about 3/4 full dump it. I never understood why some coach builders had separate tanks. If you are interested in flushing/cleaning the sewer hose just rinse it out with water from the fresh water hose in the campground after you have dumped. As a rule, Newell usually builds the sewer tank with 5 gallons more capacity than the fresh water tank. That way you can't overflow the sewer tank - even if you use all of the fresh water in the pure tank.

I use "Always Fresh" in my sewer tank. 2 scoops of Always Fresh in the toilet bowl and flush it down. I add the powder immediately after I dump the sewer tank. It doesn't have an odor and it does a great job of killing the bacteria in the tank. Everything stays fresh and clean - Great Product!

I think that Newell suggests NOT using clorox because it can damage the toilet flap seal. I may be wrong on this - just guessing.
