perhaps. That seems like a big bathtub filled to the rim, but ok. Good point
Big difference though, is from the RV that slug of waste is hitting the pipe fast, very fast....and it's clear water, where most tubs and washers would drain much more slowly
I only wrote what I did because I've lived in some older homes in the past that had sketchy main drain pluming (tree roots and old bell joint pipes) and in old communities with under capacity sewage and storm drain pipes under the roads.... It could be a reason a provider might site to oppose RV dumping.... just something to consider.
