Unless you have a small RV, your vehicle has holding tanks. Since those RV tanks are designed to hold all kinds of liquids, they can emit some unpleasant smells if untreated.

Imagine being in the middle of a much-anticipated RV trip on the open road. You have been planning to visit this destination for ages, and saw many great things in nature during the day.

Then you retire to your RV to sleep but are met with some horribly foul odors.

To avoid this scenario, there are some simple steps you can take for odor control. With just some regular maintenance, you can be prepared to confront your RV waste and keep a clean tank.

What are the Different Tanks in My RV?

First, let's talk about the three tanks in an RV.

-The freshwater tank

-The Grey Tank

-and the dreaded Black Tank

Of the three, the fresh water tank is the easiest. It holds the clean water you need when not hooked up to water on a campground. When you are boondocking and shower, use the kitchen sink or bathroom, the water comes from this tank. When hooked up to city water at a campground, the water bypasses the tanks and goes directly to the faucets.
