  1. And yet another - Dyson V6 Ultimate. Does a great job. Rob
  2. If you search the forum, there are several discussion threads on this topic. We generally leave all the tanks closed until time to dump. This gives us full gray tanks to flush the hose after draining the black tank. Every couple of months, I add a half cup of dishwashing liquid and a half cup of borax crystals to each tank along with about 1/4 tank fresh water just before we travel. The sloshing and additives keep the tanks nice and clean. (I'm mostly interested in keeping the crud off the tank sensors...). Rob
  3. The 5.3 is a good engine and the 6-speed tranny on your 2016 Tahoe will put you in a much better place than the 4-speed in my 2005. We were also towing a slightly heavier TT (just over 7,000 GVWR/5,400 empty). We just had to be patient and put up with 3,500 RPM in the mountains of western North Carolina and east Tennessee. Use tow-haul mode, go down the hills at the same speed you went up, and let the motor do as much of the braking for you as possible. Don't ride the brakes... just stick to the truck lanes and "hang with the big boys and you should be OK. Happy camping! Rob
  4. I don't know if it's Dave or Lana that's the nurse, but as a retired Army nurse, I was trying to figure out how to respond to this thread and you did a far better job than I would/could have. Thank you! This response should be the gold standard for this topic. Rob
