Sani-Flush

I had the dealer add a Sani-Flush back tank rinse system to my 2015 Vegas 24.1. It works very well and was easy to install.

When I had a Class-C with a rubber roof it was recommended to use the "conditioner/cleaner" once a year. I'd wait for a cloudy, cool day to apply it. Not my favorite job.
