Now, I've just been away a week in the Motorhome and after coming home yesterday and unpacking the bulk of stuff to tidy up it's apparant that theres some water and coffee grounds in the shower tray!
I'm sure I'm right in saying this but am assuming this is a symptom of overfilling the grey waste tank! There's a week worth of washing up in there and we have a cafetiere of coffee at least once a day so it's the only thing that makes sense?

I also assume there's no way to avoid this other than empty more often?
 
The shower drain is the lowest in your system, so the place that waste water will appear if the water tank gets too full (or sloshes about whilst travelling).
We put grounds into a used yoghurt pot (with lid) and take it home for composting.
More important is to try and avoid any solids from going down the drain because some of them will remain in the tank and fester. Use kitchen towel to wipe dirty things clean before washing. Otherwise you are likely to build up stinky grey water and foul smells coming from the shower tray.

and this is the same waste water that inconsiderate owners (who cannot be bothered to empty into the drains provided, as happened at the Bath & West show recently) allow to pour out, along the road, when leaving a site/venue claiming it is clean but get upset if this residue should land on THEIR vehicle while following! PLEASE, TURN OFF YOUR TAPS, it give motorhomers a bad name with the general car driving public!

Ummmm I always turn off my taps. I have heard of people doing this but never actually witnessed it I have to admit.

If you REALLY want to see my drawers do a search for 'watermelon knickers' with my ID ... 😄
I fear Mr Minxy would be after me if I took up your offer. Not even mentioning Mrs Bucket and her rolling pin.....

Got mine sorted by that time the leak was fixed but now I have lost the slow constant dribble I have to empty the Bl''dy thing ;)
