So we came back from a 7 hour drive towing our trailer. The Black water was empty and the Gray water was empty. We placed our Kuerig in the kitchen sick to secure it. When we arrived home, the bottom of the Kuerig was wet with brown/black (soy sauce color) liquid. The sink was stained was stained as well. It smelled like sewage! We checked the Kuerig - nope the wetness did not come from it. Now I did have to jack the tongue high to hitch up - but all tanks were empty.Amy thoughts what this could be from?

I would recheck that Kuerig. The jack won't tip the trailer high enough to spill water out of the trap. If your thinking bouncing, the trailer would have much more serious damage, if it bounce enough to throw water out of the trap. I doubt it's either of these.

Slosh your home kitchen sink around and it's 'p' trap would spew a bit of dirty water back into sink also........

Gotta be the trap. Could have even gotten some positive pressure in the drain system due to wind/air currents blowing in the vent pipe. Kinda sounds like coffee dumped down the sink mixed with other gunk in the trap.

Many of the Keurig machines have a "catch basin" that the cup sits on while brewing. When you remove the cup there are always a few drips. If you don't empty and clean that catch thing it can get real nasty. I try to clean mine often, otherwise it looks like a well seasoned black tank. :E

If you are running ST tires then perhaps there was too much bounce and some water spilled back out of the trap.

Seriously... is it just water from the Keurig? Mine spills water (brown sludgy water) when I slide it around on my kitchen counter, if I was to travel with it I'm sure even more brown water would escape.

Did it, "taste", like coffee or grey water? They thought it might be sewage. Do you really think they tasted it?

It is likely water from the trap that either splashed up from movement or positive pressure in the tank caused by air entering the vent while traveling.
