Black Tank Flush added to TT

My Mountaineer Travel Trailer did not come with a black tank flush from the factory. After looking at several after market flush systems, I decided to purchase a Tornado Flush System. The flush head spins and sprays several strong streams of water inside the black tank. The kit includes everthing you need except for a tube of silicone to seal the tank around the head. The installation is fairly straight forward once you remove the belly panels covering the black water tank. Here is a link with pictures of the install:

This new system helps remove any debris that may be stuck in the tank.

Nice job and good pictures. I wonder if this is very similar to what Keystone installs.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!

Ditto, nice pictures, I am envious!
I installed one of those in our old Keystone Sprinter, I hope this new one works as well, that revolving spray head was great.
Good job.

Thanks guys. The spinning head really seems to do a good job of cleaning. My black tank is directly below the toilet so you can see straight into the tank. I was amazed to see the spray action the Tornado creates inside the tank. The Tornado has helped the sensors in the black tank though I really don't depend on them anyway. My main concern was to try to keep the tank relatively clean.

Fulltimedreamer,
Where did you position the Tornado on the tank? Did you center it on one of the long sides, or did you center it on one of the shorter ends, etc?

Thanks,
Red
