Professional RV tank cleaning training
This self-paced training program teaches the complete process of professionally cleaning RV holding tanks as a service.
This training is approved for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through both the RV Technician Association of America (RVTAA) and the National RV Inspectors Association (NRVIA).
The training is designed for:
- RV technicians
- RV inspectors
- Others who want to add RV tank cleaning as a standalone or complementary service
You do not need to be an RV technician or inspector to take this training.

It includes:

This is not a live or in-person program.

This program is designed for people who are comfortable learning independently and working through material at their own pace.
You’ll do well in this program if you:

What past students say
Time and money saved
I purchased the tank cleaning training after becoming an RV Inspector and registered RV technician through NRVTA in Athens, Texas. After Sue cleaned the black and gray tanks on our rig, my wife and I began seriously considering adding tank cleaning as a service.
The time saved sourcing the correct equipment—and the money saved by not buying the wrong tools—made the course well worth the price. The training was clear, thorough, and practical.
I highly recommend Royal Flush Tank Cleaning and Sue’s tank cleaning training.

Everything needed to get started
Sue has put together a great course with all the details needed to start offering RV tank cleaning as a service. From detailed equipment lists with links to advice on marketing the service, she really thought of everything.
I appreciated how easy it was to find and order the correct equipment. Now I’m just waiting for my equipment to arrive so I can get started.

Felt like on-site learning
I would recommend this course to anyone interested in starting a tank cleaning service. Sue is an excellent instructor, and the videos made me feel as if I was on site at a job, learning directly from her.
The training was informative, easy to follow, and very detailed. I appreciated that the videos were short and to the point.
