Put some dettol down the drain hole, will disinfect and kill the toads. Win, win.

Hi Ian

To the best of my knowledge, Jayco caravans, use a one way Hepvo valve, between the shower and grey water tank

Never worked in a winery, but in the mineral sands industry, the inner workings of a Hepvo valve, are known as a fishtail

Below is a pic of a Hepvo valve, (which is easy to spot), on the shower grey water pipe, as they have a compression fitting each end

If you have one installed, then even if the cane toad got into the grey water tank, it could not have got into the shower cubical

Perhaps it hopped inside the caravan, when you was not looking

Also from memory, KTF (I hope I got his name right), a friend of Dougwee
Put up a post about making a toad/frog blocker, on his grey water pipe

If you have a grey water tank get a Hepvo valve, nothing is going to come up then, cane toads or smells. Every grey water tank really should have them.

I tend to think you guys are right, the van has the Hepvo valves on every circuit, however the toads could get into the grey water tank. How this one got into our shower has me beat, if it didn't come up via the plumbing.

I reckon he was on ya back outside, that is back-outside not backside, although he might have been there and as you came into the van he hitched a ride.

Rib-it, rib-it.

Keep Safe out there everyone.
