If the tanks are not properly prepared prior to using RM Tank Care, it will not function as designed. Those instructions come with the product. Gary For James above:

Well said Bill, but allow me to explain my philosophy. Years ago I made a committment to the readers of my RV Doctor Column that if I ever mention a product by name, it means I have personally tested and evaluated that product or had one of my 'beta' testers evaluate it for me using my guidelines and standards. I've stuck by that mantra ever since. So, since I've not tested those other products that I know exist, I hesitate to comment. Simply wouldn't be fair. I'm sure many of them do indeed work or they certainly wouldn't last on the market for very long! But without firsthand knowledge, I decline to comment either way. My bottom line, use whatever product works best in your specific application. I agree, an in-depth comparison regarding all similar waste system products would be ideal. Any takers? Please note that I am not compensated in any way by mentioning any specific product. I simply pass on to my readers information about the products and processes I've investigated. Cheers!

It would be good if you would give us options which may be cheeper or easer to find without having to send off for them and pay shipping cost.

Then again, it depends on whether you can afford it, and how bad your tank odors are. Checked out RM Tank Care on the website. It’s a bit expensive @ $1.12 an ounce.

Its about 17.95 a little costly for dumping every other day. bob Connie, Just click on the photo and it will take you to a website to get it.

Any help? Or any website that sells this product. I was wondering how much it cost and also the directions for the product?? Like how long it needs to be in the tank. While traveling and camping we like to empty about every other day. Connie I am also having problems finding the website for RM Tank Care. Any help? Or any website that sells this product.

Also if the tank is only 1/4 full, how can it clean the sensors up top? I would like to know how FAST the products work if anyone knows. Other wise it just keeps the odor down. ??? At the cost what is better while on the road. At home I like to fill up full with water and let something eat the tank clean. But on the road never over 1/4 full as some time I dont have a place to dump.

I didn't have a good experience with it. Unless I was doing something wrong we had an odor issue. I had to switch to another product. The drop in pouches have worked better for us. Like I said, not sure if I was doing something wrong or not. I purchased RM Tank Care when we first purchased a TT. I didn’t have a good experience with it.
