Brown waste tank ! how many days before emptying ? Forums

takeaflight

For the RV lot, how many days can you go, so to speak before you have to empty a 30' C Class Rv brown waste tank ?

Now I realise the real answer is, how long is a piece of string !

But for the purpose of the exercise can you assume two people , with shall we say average toilet needs.

Hi tf most people refer to the tanks as grey and black, I assume you mean the black, for us between 5-7 days, but RV tanks come in more than one size, it depends on the manufacturer.

I think Duncan said his are around 50 gallons? whereas mine are only 30.

We don't usually use site facilities, and expect at least 2-3 weeks. I seem to remember, when we were full time for 6 months, that I only emptied the black tank once a month, but can't entirely rely on my memory now! Have given up putting anyt chemicals in - on advice from this forum - and seems no different from when i did.

Thanks guys the model I have been looking at is the Four Winds Funmover

and yes Olley, I did mean Black, however it was late I had a glass of red and I must of been thinking of something else Embarassed

The point of the question was, on quite a few sites that we stayed on in France etc last year while we would have got a 30' RV on the pitch I don't think we could have got into a position whereby I could have emptied the tank without a very long hose.

Just checked the Four Winds Site.

Funmover Black tank holds 32 US gallons, am I correct in thinking that, there is not a built in macerator pump ?

Hi tf not normally, as most yank sites are geared up for RV's.
