 Welcome to Road Gear Reviews. I'm Julie from RVLove and today I'm talking about the happy camper holding tank treatment. Stay tuned. Welcome back everyone. Julie again here from RVLove. So today talking about something not very glamorous but very essential when you're an RVer and that is a holding tank treatment. This is something that if you have a toilet, a regular toilet in your RV you're going to want something to neutralize the odors and help break down the waste in the paper that goes into your RV toilet. So that's what this is for. So let's talk a little bit about what happy camper is, what it's made of and what it does. So this is a holding tank treatment called happy campers. It's an odor-free holding tank treatment that treats your wastewater in your RV. It has no formaldehyde, is biodegradable, will liquefy waste. There's no odor when dumping. It's environmentally friendly, good for septic tanks. Most household tissues are okay with this product and it helps clean and inhibit sludge or crystal buildup in your toilet and holding tanks. Believe me, as an RVer you don't want that going on in your tanks. Happy camper is an organic product or so they say on the packaging. It doesn't say what it's made of so I'm not able to verify that but it does say it. There is no formaldehyde septic, safe and biodegradable. So ironically in our RV we rarely get odors from the black tank. It tends to happen more in the gray tank, especially when we're in higher temperatures or if it's we've been boondocking for example and we haven't dunked the tanks for about a week, in which case that's when we'll put some extra holding tank treatment into both the black tank and the gray tank to help go a little longer when we're boondocking. But we did have an experience about a year ago where every time we emptied the gray water out of the sink after washing dishes or having a shower we would notice this real waft, very unpleasant waft come through the RV. We thought we had a leak, we were going to pull apart walls and pipes to try and get to the bottom of the problem but did some Google searching and that's how we discovered the Happy Camper product. There are a lot of RVs out there that swore by this product so we decided to give that a try. So we filled up the tanks, put in some Happy Camper, emptied them and ever since then we haven't been having an issue. This is designed to be used with a 40 gallon tank and one scoop is all you need for a 40 gallon tank. So this particular size here holds about 64 holding tank treatments. You can get larger and smaller containers than this so we just tend to go with what fits best inside our RV cover that makes it convenient to access when it's time to put the holding tank treatment into the toilet. Obviously the bigger the package the more economical it's going to be because you're buying in bulk. So how you use it it's pretty simple it's just a container of powder holding tank treatment that comes with a little scoop. After you've dumped your tanks all you do is use one scoop in your toilet 40 gallon toilet again this is designed for and follow that with at least one to two gallons of water. So what we do is fill up the toilet bowl first with at least a gallon of water tip in the scoop of the holding tank treatment and then let that go down into the tank and then give it a good shake if maybe another gallon after that. This can be used in black tanks which is obviously your toilet and grey tanks which holds your kitchen sink and bathroom water. So you can use it in either tank especially if you're in hot weather we sometimes use this in the grey tank as well and on the rare occasions that we have had odours or wafs coming from the tanks usually there's been a build-up of stuff in the tanks and we've since we've started using the happy campus product that seems to have cleaned and broken it down and we no longer have that occur. So this has been a fantastic product it's something really simple it's not sexy but it's something that you need if you're in an RV and it's something that we have been really really happy with in fact we're happy campers now. This product is produced by the happy campers company out of Medford Oregon and they do have a claim here on their packaging try it risk-free it does what we claim or your money back so if you do try it and you don't like it or you don't think it works for you they'll just give you your money back so it's a risk-free trial period but we've tried several brands and this is the one that we just keep going back to because it seems to work best for us so hope you found this helpful if you have any questions pop them down in the comments below also any comments if you've been using happy campus let us know what you think of the product what's been your experience if you haven't already click like on this video and don't forget to hit the subscribe button to get more videos every week from the road give reviews team so see you next time
