Guide to your Jayco RV: How to empty your waste water

How to empty the wastewater on your Jayco RV

Wastewater, also referred to as grey water, will accumulate in your RV after using washing machines, kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks and showers.

This can quickly become a problem if you do not correctly dispose of it.

Any grey water stored in the plumbing of your van will become black water within 12 to 24 hours.

This is a result of bacterial growth which is accelerated under warmer conditions.

Generally, grey water is diverted onto gardens and lawns in a household environment, whereas this is not typically the case in an RV.

Most caravan parks will provide a grey water drain for visitors to direct their wastewater into using the outlet hose on their RV.

Some may direct visitors to dispose grey water onto the grass surrounding the site.

Make sure to check with the park staff how they would like visitors to dispose of grey water before you undertake this process.
