Washing machine

Crossroads hooked my washing machine to my black tank I think it should be hooked up to my grey tank anybody else have that problem.

The washer SHOULD NOT be plumbed to the black tank drain for the reason the OP mentioned, possible overflow. Sure, it's a great idea getting that soapy water to flush out your black tank valve and poop, but one forgetful moment not opening the black valve and my, oh my. You'd have to trash the trailer. Furthermore, I don't see how a manufacturer could run a washing machine drain directly to the sewer line without first entering a holding tank. That would eliminate your chances of ever being able to do a wash when dry camping....unless neighbors didn't mind you dumping on the ground.

The JAYCO PINNACLE that we just ordered has a seperate tank for the washer.

I don't know, it seems to me that putting all that soapy water in the black tank is a "good" thing. Just gotta keep a close eye on the tank sensor to make sure you don't over fill it.

FWIW, mine is connected to the gray tank, and we too usually open the drain and let it flow through.

Ours goes to the bathroom grey tank that we leave open all the time so if we do multiple loads and accidentally over-fill the tank(which we found out the hard way when we first got our fiver)it won't over-flow through the washer's drain stack into the interior, imagine you did that and your black tank over-flowed into your fiver?? I'd go find Gomer and have him change that A.S.A.P. and suggest he get outta' the rv business and take up knitting!

Grey on mine.
Some have said theirs bypasses the tanks altogether and goes directly to the drain.

Get it done right. Keeps grey tank cleaned and flushed with every wash.

No problem on mine. It is on Grey tank.
