First of all, kitchen sink has nothing to do with the black tank, only the toilet empty’s into the black, kitchen sink goes into the grey’s, as do the shower, bathroom sink and washer if you have that.

A good friend that owns an RV Repair & Storage place recommends pouring a bag of cube ice down your toilet. Then go for a 30 minute to 1 hour drive, and be sure there’s plenty of left and right turns. You want that ice to vigorously slosh around in the tank! The ice will melt and simply run out with all the rest of the broken up sludge when you dump your tank.

I always carry a clear 5 gallon container for water emergencies. If I wanted to answer your question at any given campground etc. I would time how long it takes to fill the five gallon container and then dump the full container in the toilet and work off that time and multiply appropriately.

I'm thinking the very first post in this thread. The OP said the kitchen sink wasn't draining so it was time to drain the black then grey. But I think it's just the OP likes to drain the black before emptying the grey, not that he thought the slow kitchen sink meant the black was full. I could be wrong.

What you might find is due to the (high work standards) of the people putting these things together that whoever did the cutout for the plumbing let the cutout fall into the tank and left it there and it has washed into the drain. if this is the case no amount of tank cleaner will help. What you need to do is put a few miles on it and this will usually dislodge it or if you are set up permanently get a twist-on gate valve and install it at the travel cover, close it and then open your black tank valve then open a grey tank valve and allow the grey tank contents to purge back into the black tank, close the grey tank and open the dump valve. hope for the best.

It most likely is not full enough. Happened to me once...thought the valve wasn't working, cut a hole in the coroplast to check it and it was working. Took a hose into the rig and sprayed water into the black tank until just about full...pulled the valve and viola, black tank emptied. You need to let the tank fill up and make sure you have LOTS of water in it.
