Bleach in laundry

Is there any problem with doing a load of laundry with bleach in the motorhome? Will it have a negative effect on the tank or drain valve?

x2 If the park has a septic field, bleach can be harmful to the bacteria that break down the solids. If they are on a municipal water treatment system, it wont hurt it. As far as the rv, it wont hurt anything.
