Re: Crossroads 331bh outside kitchen not plumbed to grey tank
Lantley wrote: None of the first generation outdoors sinks drain into the grey tanks some have made various mods to address the situation. Some of the current newer units are now draining directly to the CG sewer via the RV sewer connection. They still do not drain into a grey tank but if you are on a site with a sewer this is a viable solution. The issue is very basic the sink drain is lower than the grey tank. Water does not flow uphill. You can devise your own mod or use a 5 gallon bucket beneath the drain. At this point the outdoor sink drain is a well known issue. I imagine 75% of them do not have drains . While the newer units are starting to have a provision for connecting directly to the sewer.

hey troubledwaters. your right... a search of the forum finds the evidence of the outside kitchen not having a tank. now show me in the certs and compliance the code reference which is required for today's trailers to support the fact that these are not required! that's what the focus is on my post! im not asking for a kiddie pool answer. might as well add the outside shower which also needs clarification on grey water requirements! grey/black are both waste water and require a containment device to the unit. why people with park models parking longterm get fined when they bypass such code/unit tank devices. u got the time to troll, enlighten me!591Views0likes0CommentsRe: Crossroads 331bh outside kitchen not plumbed to grey tank
doesn't seem right to leave a wallow for the next camper. nor is it acceptable at most sites. silly to to need a bed pan for a 2017 35k trailer. I guess we still live in a world where we don't leave it nicer than we found it. with all the water way contamination and water born illness it seems illogical to still promote such crude devices when the presence of sanitation solution is already available. no green sense on so many levels. far as pop ups.. that's why they arnt invited/allowed to most parks these days217Views0likes0CommentsCrossroads 331bh outside kitchen not plumbed to grey tank
hello, looking for some guidance on my recent purchase of a 2017 crossroads sunset trail 331bh. the outside kitchen doesn't have a grey tank. even tho the termination valve is labeled "grey tank" on the handle. however it only has the termination valve "obstruction" which has to be open to drain or the sink will backfill also then noticedthere is no "grey tank 3" on the sensor panel... so since this unit is certified according to RVIA ref plumbing nfpa 1192 this does not seem acceptable. " 7.2.1.2 The waste outlet of all plumbing fixtures, other than toilets, shall be equipped with a drain fitting that provides an unobstructed waterway." now... the service manager at crossroads rv says that that is the design of the unit and that code doesn't require a grey tank for an outside kitchen. I don't think this is right and would like feedback from the experts.6.8KViews0likes21Comments
