. What's funny is you literally admit to doing something illegal. I've never drained my gray tank at all because it's illegal. Fresh soap and water on the ground is not considered gray water. It has never entered a holding tank. I did not say I personally plumbed my shower to the ground. I said that has been done because it makes sense. The camping manafacturers are not going to design a product that is illegal to use. They have it set up that way because there is no law about soapy water on the ground. It's only illegal once it's in a tank. Tent campers do it all the time. Outdoor showers are not illegal either. It's no different.kofire wrote:

I 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.
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.
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. - RideSlowExplorerFor the OP we have the outdoor kitchen, which is a sink, 110v small fridge, only cook if I hook up the RVQ. Pics on one of the other threads here. Use the sink and fridge all the time. Our TH is a Stealth AK27__, actually about 31' long.
- dedmistonModeratorOK kofire. You've had your say on this topic. Please move along.
- CeciltExplorerOP here. This thread went off topic. I have had 2 outdoor kitchens in our past 2 TT's and still have the TT but might change to a TH.
I love the outdoor kitchen with the fridge(bigger than the small dorm fridge or ones that come in most pop ups), sink, 2 burner stove and grill on the bumper. All have quick connects to gas lines so no toting propane bottles and no long hoses running to the front propane tanks to some type of T connection. All factory. Sink drains to grey tank and I would have it no other way.
With that said I got one reply with an option and thank you. I have seen a 45' but I don't want to tow a 45' TH to all the places we like to go that a 45' would be too much of a pain. My TT is 36' which is why I want to stick to 40' TH and be about the same length. tks - ItriedExplorerCecilt, You may want to take a peek at the KZ Sportsman Sportster line, they have two models, both are right about that 40 foot mark that have outside kitchens, the 352th12,and the 362th12. We have a 355th which runs just under 39 foot. The 355th12 is two foot longer.
Hope this helps... - dedmistonModerator
