Do you think this water saving mod worthwhile?
Saturday when picking up a part for my trailer I ran into a guy that has the same model as ours but few years newer. We got talking and he told me how he extends his boondocking time via pumping his gray water to re-use in his toilet.
TT has 2 gray water tanks, one for kitchen and one for bathroom (shower and sink) He hooked up a water pump to his bathroom gray tank then to his toilet. He can twist a valve and pump water from his self contained tank or twist valve the other way and can pump water from his bathroom gray tank to his toilet. Neither one of us had our TT with us. Just picking up stuff at RV place.
While I think the idea has some merit I wonder just how much this would extend boondocking time. We very seldom we run out of space in the bathroom gray water tank. Black tank would receive same amount of use. For us, any extended time would because of water savings on the fresh water tank.
Does anybody see any other downsides to this mod? I see the pump being a shorter life because of soap residue and hair? Of course, one could also just drain the gray water into a gallon jug and use it for flushing.
Does anybody know how many gallons of water your toilet goes through when boondocking?
