My grey and my black drains are the same size. If the grey is fuller than the black, the pressure will only allow the grey into the black ( for the most part ). I prefer to just drain the grey into a bucket and dump it in an outhouse ( after checking with the camp host ) or down the toilet and into my black tank.

Late at night slip out and drain grey water out a long hose. If you plan this right and rain is in the forecast you are good to go. No incriminating evidence left.

rpa91-

There is another thread on this forum about "camping courtesy". I submit that dumping grey water on a campsite is not being courteous. If it is a private campground, it is probably against their rules. If it is a public campground, it is probably against their rules. Like I teach my kids, just because you don't agree with the rules doesn't allow you to break them. The fact that you would want to do it at night and before a rain to 'eliminate the evidence' indicates that you know it is wrong. If I was your neighbor and you saw me dump my grey tank on your front lawn after every trip, would you thank me for the water, call the cops, or fire a shot at me?

If the grey level is higher than the black I open the grey valve then open the black. You can hear the flow. I dont let it go long enough for the flow to stop. close the black then the grey. When I dump at the station I open the twist on valve first and out comes about a gallon maybe half a gallon of grey no black. Then continue as normal. Can also back wash black tank after it is empty with the grey.

rpa91,
Dumping your tank at the site is not cool.

I submit that anyone using an RV who can't, or won't keep track of his tanks, and doesn't dump contents where it belongs, doesn't belong out there in the first place...
