Who reports and fines all those people who wash their Class A in the campgrounds? They use soapy water and are washing off road grime, bird poop, and dead bugs and dumping a whole lot more water on the ground than some person in the pop up.
I can wash mine with 3 gallons of water and zero soap in it. Some use the waterless system. Why you picking on them?
Good for you. I'm guessing you need to check the size of your bucket and look at how much you use in rinsing. Your "3 gals" along with the next guy's 10 gals and the next guy's X gals. It adds up. I'm just asking the question. Someone is worried about someone else's grey water. Are they going to worry about someone's Class A grey water run-off from washing?
I know the size, it's 5 gallons and I only fill it about 3/4 of the way and there is at least 1/2 of a gallon left in when finished. I don't rinse, I squeegee it off. What ends up on the ground is distributed over a larger surface area and evaporates withing minutes. And the campground allows it or its not done.
When I depart my site there isn't a stinky mud puddle with scraps of food and who knows what other fluids. So I guess we should start worrying about your pop up and your who knows how many gallons your dumping and the next guy etc. What your dumping could be considered a bio hazard. I have accidentally dump some gray water. It absolutely stunk for th weekend we were there to the point we couldn't sit outside, even after rinsing it down. Just common sense.
