Happy Crapper RV

Happy Crapper RV is a mobile holding tank service based in Elk River, Minnesota. It comes to you, and it says it works "in MN, IA, WI, ND, and SD." Its technicians need the black tank dumped first, since "Your holding tanks MUST BE DUMPED before we begin."

It flushes black and grey tanks, sinks and shower lines with hot water at "2000 PSI 180° F" and no chemicals, and it takes on clogs for a separate quote. It covers pop up and slide-in campers, travel trailers, 5th wheels, and Class A, B and C motorhomes. Its published prices are $189 for a pop up or slide-in, $299 for a travel trailer or 5th wheel, $279 for a Class B, $299 for a Class C and $349 for a Class A. An extra black tank dump is $50. A $125 service call and diagnostic fee applies only if the technicians come out to diagnose and cannot do the flush.

Beyond 50 miles from ZIP code 55330, the trip fee is written as "Add $1.00/Mile after first $50." That wording can be read more than one way, so ask what it comes to for your site before you book. The company also warns that a broken gate valve "may increase the cost of your holding tank flush," so ask how that would be priced. No hourly rate, hours, street address, insurance, license or warranty is published, so ask about each when you call.

Co-Founder Dean spent 25 years as an RV claims adjuster, and Veteran Co-Founder Greg spent 20 years in RV insurance and warranty underwriting. Google rates the business 5 stars from 18 reviews. It donates 5% of net revenues to the Magnus Veteran Foundation. For rigs in storage it recommends "Sanitize B4 You Winterize," and it recommends at least twice a year for year-round use.

This is a good fit for an RV owner in those five states who wants the tank flushed where the rig is parked and wants the prices in hand before the technicians arrive. Call or text 763-276-5513 for the fastest response.
