Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Visitor just rinsed a dirty diaper in the SHOWER!!


I didn't yell, though I really wanted to--but she got flustered when baby got the runs after lunch and did her best in unfamiliar surroundings.

However they have left and while she did bleach out the shower basin and I will too, I am a bit concerned about the poo which went into my grey tank.

Any reason why I should be concerned or should I just get over the ick factor?

I wouldn't be too worried about it, but if you're concerned, dump some bleach down the shower drain and I would think that it'll kill any bacteria in the gray tank.

I'm sure others will respond that have had something similar happen.

If you bleached it, the problem is solved.

No big deal.

Get over the "Ick" factor.

 You never did that at home with your kids?   There was no way to dunk baby and diaper in toilet - much easier to use the shower and clean both at the same time.  It all goes down the drain and once cleaned, what's the problem?     Or try having diarrhea while undergoing chemo - sometimes you have no choice as a grown-up but to clean up in the shower.  Or have a relative with a colostomy - can remember cleaning shower after grandpa finished - - just another job to do.   It goes down the drain, you clean the shower/tub, and life goes on.   Relax, breathe, if that is the worse you encounter in your life you're lucky.

Even though I use a liner when the cats' litter box is in the shower, once in a while there's a mistake. It's not a big deal, whatever went in is going to drain out. Don't worry. And, as Lucky Mike said, what else has gone down that drain...?

BTW, we were missing you, Mike.

ok, ok, lol, I just wanted to be sure the grey tank didn't have any special care and feeding instructions of which I wasn't yet aware.

As for chemo, I have had my own thanks and just lost my husband after six months of intensive chemo----sadly I am all too familiar with those issues--just not in my rv.

Mike I too am glad you weren't buried in snow this winter!

I'll also chime in with good wishes to Mike.  Glad to see he's back along with his sense of humor still intact.

As for the grey tank and poo, the addition of the bleach will take care of all that, plus anything that still might be solid will liquify in the water that remains in the tank.  Our grey tank gets a dose of some bleach every couple of weeks, because my dentist told me to bleach my dentures every couple of weeks or so.  Life is much better with bleached dentures.

I wanted to put a urinal in a house we had and my wife didn't want to. She said they smelled bad. I told her it didn't necessarily smell bad just because it got peed in.
She said it would too. I said "That's not true the shower doesn't smell like pee does it?" She said "No but you don't pee in the shower..... DO YOU?"
