Is there a scent free Grey Tank treatment that works?

I am unclear about the jack location for a tire change.  I understand that the axle tube is not the place to use, but what exactly is the right spot?  And, what do you carry for a jack?

Thanks.

I use the liquid (yellow color) stuff that comes in a bottle at Walmart. Works great and has no scent.

I use Happy Campers powder (follow directions.) No scent at all. Works great in black and gray tanks. You can get it on Amazon.

Now if I can figure out what kind of wheel jack to get, I'll be all set.

I tested my TV-Ford Expedition scissors jack on my Pod in the driveway.  I am happy with that so I see no need for an additional jack for the Pod.

It is tipped to one side The red arrow shows where to place the jack. ( not to computer savy) It is a photo of where to place the jack to safely jack up your pod.

Leo,

Hmm, thanks again, but it looks as though you have taken a photo from some kind of manual-- I see what looks like some printed instructions in the picture.

What did you take a picture of?  Maybe I can find that.

And again, I know what you mean about lack of computer skills, so I apprecite your efforts.
