We bought a dishwasher,, hmmmm

We purchased a dishwasher for or TH to keep it in the bay and hook it up to the washer plumbing. I have a few questions about this. Has anyone ever done this? Hook up a portable dishwasher to the washer plumbing? How did you make the adapter to adapt the waste line to the washer drain pipe and how did you mate the water supply to the washer hose bib?

Also does anyone know which holding tank the washer waste line drains into.. The Galley, black water or the gray water??

This is in a voltage 3200 toyhauler.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the hookups??

  • I installed a Fisher-Pakel dishdrawer (a dishwasher that is smaller than a household dishwasher, but works the same) in our coach under the stove where the oven would normally have gone. It works great. The coach was not wired or plumbed for this modification, so I brought in a hot water line and installed a drain.

    In my case, I installed a drain that would drain directly into the park's drain system rather than my grey water tank. I did that for a number of reasons and like it that way. In a pinch I could drain the waste water into a bucket or let it run out on the ground if we were boondocking where it wouldn't bother anyone. I used a one way valve to allow air to follow the waste water down the drain since it won't drain without one. The clothes washer is going to have a drain mounted high enough up to keep waste water from back flowing and still allow air to follow the waste water down the pipe. You can't block the feature. Good luck.
