gray or black
I have never put anything but soapy water down the sink. I put every thing else down into the black tank. Anyone drain canned food juice into the sink? Wonder if I am taking it to far.

What do you do at home?
RV isn't any different....
Ahh I think it is!
Don't know about your house but my house didn't have holding tanks for sewage strapped under where my bed was!!!:B
At home my sewage waste and my food from a garbage disposal goes down a big ole 'sewer pipe' off to some far far away filtration plant where 'other people' have to deal with it.
In the RV they go into holding tanks strapped to the belly of my MH and "I" have to deal with the smells and removable of it. And at close range I might add. :W
Sooo, "I" prefer to make the upfront process as easy, odorless, non clogging, non sticking to the sides as possible.PastorCharlie wrote:

Don't make RVng so complicated.........enjoy it!
Amen....but people might do things they shouldn't at home...lol- I put down a quart of a lemon cleaner after every couple of dumps helps keep the gray tank and the sensors clean and free from any odors.
I found every chain grocery store carries quart size lemon cleaner that costs just a buck usually found on the bottom shelves. bee_46 wrote:
I avoid putting grease down either RV drain or the drain at home. We have a septic system at our house which includes a drain field. Grease can easily clog a drain field so I carefully drain large amounts of grease into a container and toss in the trash and wipe out lesser amount with paper towels or used napkins before washing.
It is easy to carry routines from the house to the RV.

RV is very different from home. When is the last time you dumped separate tanks at home?
The drains pipes maybe the same but from that point on it is very different.
I avoid solids,grease and scraps in gray tank as feasible.
I'll add if you did not eat it don't put it in the black tank.- Gray tank, no solids. That is my only rule.
- When I first purchased my RV there was so much congealed grease on the floor of the grey water tank that it effectively sealed an 18" long crack located in the tank floor. That is it sealed it until I tried to actually store grey water in the tank rather than just letting it pass through to the drain. It didn't take much water pressure to breach the congealed grease seal and start the tank leaking. I've since replaced the tank.
Anyone who wants to dump grease down their drain, go ahead your plumber will appreciate the future work.
