That is to collect the grey water from the kitchen sink.

That's nice. Good idea
But we wash dishes when it's cold. Or very hot. Or dark. Or 2 out of 3.

Great idea! I love clamps, can never have to many.

It is an A-Frame. There isn't any gray water tank. Or black tank.

Since I’m not much of a builder, you gave me the idea of using one of those “ grabber” pick up things upside down.

When not using the camper I can shut the valve and avoid bugs getting inside. It stays in place even for travel.

As far as doing dishes, I use paper plates and throw them away after use. I save the plastic forks and spoons, washing them is easy in a small sink. Try not to use pots and pans when I can, use the grill for most cooking and the microwave when we bring pre-cooked foods. Rather be fishing then cooking or doing dishes.

Wouldn't the water in the trap under the sink keep the bugs out? I was going to put a valve in also but then thought about that trap.

Too many mosquitos down here to was dishes outside. We do our dishes in a dish pan inside the trailer.
Clever idea though.

I heard ants are often searching for water and can go into your drain to get it. Just what I heard.

Use a screen washer at the outlet hose connection instead of a regular open washer, if you're worried about bugs. Just be careful about what you put in your sink as far as food particles goes.

I just use the screw-on plastic cap that came with the trailer (2012, A-122) to seal off the grey water outlet when not in use. Simple, quick, and easy.
