Maybe... you have to have a water source to make it work properly. I used to use it on another trailer, we had a quick disconnect and would fill the fresh water tank part way up and leave the pump on. I also carry a water thief for the hose and try to time my dump visits during slow periods.
It is not as quick as a regular stinky slinky, but a whole lot cleaner. It does a reasonable job of back washing the black tank. I also have a wand that I can stick down the toilet too.
If we are camping close to home we usually just wait until we get home to dump and rinse the tanks unless we happen to have fancy site with sewer, then I take major advantage of it.
The current trailer has minuscule tanks, everything is ~28 gallons. I haven't tested it yet to see if that is enough water to flush the black tank or not.
Here is a
link to a video on how it works.
