Re: [SilverStreak] Holding Tank Question



There is no gray water holding tank in your RV. The RVer is expected to run a 
hose to a sewer drain before draining the sink, lavatory or shower/bath.
Black (WC) water from a RV type WC must have a holding tank and drain valve or 
the solids will clog the drain. The tank is allowed to fill with the dump valve 
closed, then is dumped all at once, the liquid sewage washing (most of) the 
solids out as it rushes out the drain. Otherwise a house-type water seal flush 
WC as is commonly used in park trailers is needed. It is directly connected to 
a sewer pipe in the ground just like in a house.

Gray water run out on the ground really stinks in the summer.
