Black Tank Rinser

My rig doesn't have one and thinking of installing this one, anyone used it? Also should I can install on the same side as the level sensors or at right angles to the side with the sensors which I am guessing would be best.

Maybe I should explain my system. The toilet sits directly over the black tank, and the main drain where the sewer line hooks up to drain is very short, maybe a foot or so of pipe coming off the black tank. My gray tank is downhill so it has a macerator pump which pumps the gray water thru a 1.5" hose into a wye at the main drain. I looked at the tank rinsers that you connect outside to the main but this would force water into the 1.5" macerator line. Maybe with the toilet located where it is and the main drain so short I should just use one of the pressure wands thru the toilet? Or maybe a combination of the rotary rinser for on the road and use the wand at home for more thorough cleaning?

We have the black tank flush that the factory put in. It seems to work fine as week early never had issues. However, we tend to use lots of water in the black tank so nothing can ever harden, never leave the black tank valve open when camping and hooked to sewer, and also use Happy Camper for the black tank to keep it clean.

Thanks, seems the Camco one has been cheapened and lots of complaints on it. Filled the tank with hot soapy water today, will soak for a few days then rinse with the Swivel Stik when Amazon gets it here.

Our 2018 has the flush and I have been impressed by how much toilet paper and waste remains in the tank when you don't have a flush. I love the flush as it thoroughly cleans the black water tank and elimates any chance of the paper sticking and drying on the wall of the tank and blocking the sensors. We also notice less smell coming from our tank when it is empty. Get a clear sewer connector and just observe how much comes out when the flush is turned on. It is impressive!
