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.
  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
