2012 32BHDS w/outside kitchen
Some of you may already know this but the outside rear kitchen on the 2012 BHDS has a sink that drains into your BLACK water tank. Found out the hard after filling my black tank with fresh water thru toilet I went to the rear sink to fill the Grey tank to flush the tanks. Well..........something came up in the sink that shouldn't have been there! Anyway for those who own this trailer and didnt know now you don't have to find out like I did. I wouldn't have been so mad about it except in the walkthru at the dealer he said ALL sinks and tub drain into grey tank. I called them after and they said they didn't know thanks for telling them. WOW!

Wow, not the best thought to have. Guess you had to sterilize the crap out of that sink - pun intended

Definitey not the best setup.
You will also find that you cannot empty the defrost tray on the outside fridge. The door will not open far enough for you to pull the tray out.

The door not opening all the way on the outside fridge is a hassle for sure. I haven't had any issues with the sink draining to the black tank as of yet... It may be an issue when/if we start taking week long trips though.

I just picked up a 2012 32BHDS as well. So I am thinking the defrost tray issue can be solved with a turkey baster... Thoughts?

That would probably work fine, but I am going to move the fridge over a few inches to the right to solve it for good.

I thought of that, but then you will be left with two holes in your counter top where it is bolted down toward the rear of the fridge. i just put a micro fiber towel in the tray and it soaks up the water. I also prop the fridge door open when we put camper back in storage.
As soon as the season gets in full swing, i will leave the fridge running as i have electric in our storage unit.

I dont think it's bad per say, but if you ever overfilled your black tank, it would back up into that sink. Plus, if your trying to conserve space in your black tank, you have to be careful of how much you use that sink.

Has anyone ever looked into replacing the outdoor fridge into a propane and electric. I saw one TT with that option with a different manufacture. The exhaust would be the biggest obstacle I think. Not sure if it is even possible.

Not bad at all, if you know it does drain into the black tank, I didn't and I had already filled the blank tank and was going to fill the grey water tank thru that sink with a hose for flushing. I guess the black water was going up the vent because it popped the hose out of the sink drain and head pressure. Lucky the hose came out or it would have been running down the side of my TT.
I have actually seen the advanages of it draining into the black tank
1. I don't have to attach a backflush because all I have to do is turn the sink on to flush the tank
2. I can flush he black tank with hot water!

I'm hoping that we use the public restrooms as much as possible. But, to be clear, all the sinks, except the outside kitchen, will drain into the grey tank?

That is correct.

This 2010 JOF thread also has some interesting discussion about the 32BHDS Outdoor Kitchen sink draining into the black water tank and one owner's Mod (see Reply #9), which allowed the 32BHDS owner to turn a valve and select drainage into either the black or grey tank.
http://www.jaycoowners.com/showthrea...eferrerid=3537
I like having the sink's contribution to diluting the black water tank.
I haven't had the nasty back-up problem in nearly 2 years, but thanks for the warning.
Enjoy the new TT!

I love having a restroom in the TT and I also know who has sat on the toilet. The only time I would use the public restroom is if.....no I wouldn't.
If you only use it for emergencies you might as well use it all the time. You will need to flush it anyway. Just my opinion on the subject.
