Misleading. RVs have separate tanks for toilets or use chemical toilets. "Sewage" is water from shovers or washing dishes.
- mikestew 2y agoBlack water (from the toilet) is most definitely sewage. Where did you get the idea that it isn’t? Grey water can be sewage, too.
- oaththrowaway 2y agoMy RV doesn't have separate tanks or a chemical toilet.
- Johnny555 2y agoMost modern RV's have separate grey and blackwater tanks, but many older units (including the 1973 GMC RV) had a single combined tank. You sometimes still still a combined tank on modern units, usually smaller ones. I don't know what you mean by "chemical toilets", I put digesting/deodorizing chemicals in my RV's black tank, does that make it a "chemical toilet"? Either way, the liquid I drain from the black tank is definitely what I would call "sewage".
- rhyperior 2y agoSome RVs have separate black water tanks (toilet specifically) and grey water tanks (shower, sinks). Not all do. Sewage is definitely black water and not grey.
- consp 2y agoConsidering people take a leak in the shower and stuck excrement can get lose during showering I would argue gray water has various shades of gray up to black.
