Bambi Black Tank Capacity(#days)

I am setting my 2006 19 Bambi for my wife to use for some girls only retreats.

How many days before I would expect the 18 gallon balck water tank to be full from her use and the occasional use by a friend?

I think she can deal with emptying a full grey water tank but the black tank is not in her job description.

If she's not a card carrying "Black Tank Engineer", then why do you entrust the Bambi to her? ;-)

But if it is her and only a friend, I would guess that the two of them could go three or four days easily.

Of course your mileage could vary depending upon liquids consumed.

Unless of course

Why Guess??

Here is a simple way to find the answer. Have your wife go in a graduated container for twenty four hours. You go in it once or twice to simulate an occasional friend. Divide the trailer's tank capacity by the measured 24 hour output. Now you have the number of days. If your wife balks at this, tell her it is the only sure way to solve the problem.

Please post to tell us what happens when you explain this to your wife.
