We were camping last week in the BC Interior, using our faithful old bucket
under the drain, and I discovered one reason to use a graywater tank ‹ when
I dumped out the bucket the first morning we were there, the last thing to
emerge was a dead mouse, considerably bloated.  I guess the poor thing
climbed in during the night and couldnąt get back out.  We were pretty
grossed out and also felt some pity for the poor creature dying in that way.
I had never before considered a graywater tank, but Iąm thinking about it
now.  I wonder if these babies work on the Canadian vanagons?
