Found something very unusual in greywater tank

[zinger60]

Our camper has been parked in our yard since we last camped about 45 days ago. We drained the black and greywater tanks at the campground dump station when we left. Despite putting chemicals and about 7 gallons of water in the toilet when we came home, there was a terrible poop smell in the camper lately. We decided to drain the blackwater tank and flush it out. That worked fine. My DH decided to see if the greywater tank was completely empty. He opened the valve into a bucket and out came about a gallon of water and a small dead FROG! I don't know a lot about campers but I am stumped as to how a frog could get in the greywater tank. Any ideas?

I know you're looking for a real answer, but all
I got is through a bad RIVET.
Sorry, I know it's bad.
On another thought...have you been to a Rally recently.

OOOOOOOhhhhhhh.

I wonder if you have a missing vent cap on top of your camper? Might have got in thru the vent if you do.

My guess would be the roof vent, depending on what you consider small.

If you leave the gray water valves open while connected to a sewer sometimes the crawlies will enter

Do you have a R-pod trailer? Don't they come with a frog in the tank? They're all about the frog theme?

My guess is that it came in with the water as either an egg or tadpole. Had a 5 gallon water bottle for the cooler come with a mess of frog eggs at work. Supplier had some explaining to do.

Has the trailer ever been stored with drain valve open and cap off?

My serious guess is a tree frog that came in through the vent. (I grew up calling them stink pipes.) We have tree frogs that love hanging out in our large tubular wind chimes.

We have an abive ground pool and its saltwater the tree frogs love it. Pulled nine out the other night. There was five of the riding around on the plastic lilly pads that are solar lights. At night they are so loud you cant talk to the person beside you. We just got back from 2 weeks camping and there are about 50 tadpoles swimming in the pool right now. Kids love them so i cant just toss em. Besides we need more frogs to keep skeeters at bay.
My bet is it was probably in your drain pipe and died just happened to come out with the water. Was it first or last out when you drained the grey tank lol

That would mean of course that they do not filter the incoming water.
