- dedmistonModeratorI don't have an answer for you. Just wanted to mention though that you should keep an eye on any outdoor kitchens you view and check to see that the sinks are plumbed into the gray tank. I don't have an outdoor kitchen, but my brand (Crossroads) has a lot of angry owners whose outdoor sinks drain strait down to the ground.
- The_real_wild1ExplorerThey are out there but will be close to the 40' mark. I am trying to remember the name but for the life of me I can't. Thought it had a v nose as well. Nice layout.
- Y-GuyModeratorDave brings up a good point, also that many of the outdoor kitchens fridge is just your average dorm style fridge that only runs off of 110v power.

A lot of people plumb their showers straight to the ground. What's wrong with not filling up your gray tank? It's completely legal to dump soapy water on the ground. - naytherExplorer

not in state/federal parks! But its OK for tent campers to throw dirty dishwater on the ground (had an argument with a campground host about that once). - lincsterExplorer

Not on CA federal land. We have BLM come to our camps at the dunes to make sure no one is dumping gray water. - dedmistonModerator

That's really a horrible thing to do. I'm not uptight and I've dug a hole and snaked a hose into the hole to bleed off a little gray water in a pinch, but I'd never do it right there in camp where the next guy has to deal with it. And waste water from dirty dishes is even worse because the food particles attract flies. I've pulled up to camp sites where the last group all emptied their gray tanks before they hit the road. It was disgusting and the camp was unusable until the place could dry out and the winds swept the place clean.
I don't know where you get away with draining your shower in camp, but you're doing the rest of us campers a disservice. It's bad actors like you that get places shut down for the rest of us. Cut it out.
We've hijacked this poor guy's thread though.
As far as the outdoor kitchens go, when we were shopping for a new rig last year we saw a few rigs with outdoor kitchens. Some of them were part of a party ramp system and some were stand-alone. We didn't look too closely at them because we didn't like this option. They were out there though. Good luck. - The_real_wild1ExplorerOne of our guys had a discussion with the forestry guys here about that. Here, we are ok to use the outdoor shower with soap and let it dump on the ground but as soon as that water enters a tank it cannot be dumped on the ground. Exact same water.

It's not gray water it's never entered a tank. It's been discussed ad naseum on glamisdunes. Surprised you haven't seen it. - kofireExplorer
