Steve and Kate, founders of The Fresh Tank Company

About Us

Helping the RV community since 2022

Our Story

Steve and Kate aren’t just the people who clean your tanks — they’re full-time RVers themselves, three-plus years in and counting. They know what it’s like to deal with a system that’s acting up miles from home, and they know how hard it can be to find someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

They got their start in tank cleaning in 2022 under a different company name. After years of refining their approach and building their reputation on the road, they launched The Fresh Tank Company in 2026 under their own brand and their own standards.

There is currently no industry-wide certification body for RV tank cleaning — which means the difference between a good provider and a bad one comes down entirely to training, experience, and character. Steve and Kate built their approach on all three: hands-on training before going independent, a combined 45+ years of professional experience that they bring to every appointment, and a commitment to never cut corners.

Every visit includes the full service, a written inspection report, and genuine education so you leave understanding your RV a little better than when they arrived. No upselling. No rushed appointments. No shortcuts.

“Excellent service and thorough job with recommendations and education. Total appreciation for the service they provide.”
— Tanya D., Grand Design Owner

Meet the Team

Steve Joerger

Co-Founder & Lead Technician

When something isn't right, Steve investigates until he finds the root cause — and he doesn't close the job until it's fixed. That's the same standard he held for 25 years designing and managing enterprise IT infrastructure. The engineering mindset carries over directly: methodical, diagnostic, and process-driven on every call.

Kate Joerger

Co-Founder & Operations

Every customer leaves with a written inspection report — that's Kate's call, not a formality. She runs the operations side of The Fresh Tank Co, which means she's the reason appointments run on time, findings are documented, and no customer is left wondering what was done to their rig or why.
