Black and Gray Water Stuff ...

We moved to a Pod from a T@B that only had an internal 5 gal holding tank that was used for pumping water into a small sink. We captured the drainage (gray water) in a 7 gallon container and then manually emptied it into the reservior as we left the campsite.

But now we have a Pod, with plumbing, gray and black water lines. We are by no means "clueless" but honestly this is the fist time we will have to deal with all that stuff. It seems like we have seen both types of drainage in various campsites    ...some with both gray and black and some with gray only and then a "sanitary dump station" centrally located in the campsite.

That brings a question to mind    ...if you are at a campsite where both black and gray lines are available in the ground - - how do you know which one is which AND    ...would it then be smart to own 2 separate drain hoses so that you could have both hooked up to your Pod at the same time ?

+1 on nascar's comments.  All I have ever encountered was one dump pipe/hole.

Originally posted by techntrek  Some pod models have two outlets, but as they've said, there is always one sewer connection.  You should keep the black tank closed and let it fill up.  Leave the gray tank open until you know the black tank is getting close to full, then close the gray tank and let it fill up with a shower or three.  Then dump the black tank, close it, dump the gray tank (this clears the hose), and leave it open.

LOTS of TT's have two outlets. Just go to a dealer and walk around looking at them. We camp with two other families pretty regular, and all of us have separate drops.. sort of. our 'stream has only one combined, but the pod has separate. It's absolutely no big dealeo.

So I guess we are ambidextrous.

It takes about 10 seconds longer to dump and flush the pod then the 'stream.

The inconvenient thing I see about pods sewer layout is in the garage models, where the grey water from the garage goes to the black tank..
