Where does the gray water go in an Airstream trailer?

Gray water drains down into the sewer as you use water in the trailer. When the black tank is almost full, you add some more water and open the dump valve. After it’s all drained, add a couple or 3 more gallons of water down the toilet to finish the job. In camp with no sewer connection, you usually can’t let the Gray Water run on the ground.

Why does my Airstream trailer keep leaking water?

An Airstream is made from aluminum which tends to expand and contract based upon the weather conditions. Over time this can weaken the seals around windows, doors, and vents. This eventually leads to leaking and you’ll have to figure out whether the leak is coming from one of these sources or from one of the many rivets built into your RV.

How often do you need to dump black water in an Airstream?

If your dump fitting is low to the ground you can drain directly into the opening of the Blue Tank.

Black Water is kept in the closed Black Water tank until you break camp and empty it at a Dump Station.
