connecting grey tanks to get more capacity for the shower

We're looking at the Grand Design Momentum 328m which has two separate 52 gallon grey tanks, one for the shower and another for the sink. It has 160 gal of fresh water. We're likely to use much more water for showering than at the kitchen sink.

It also has a 78 gal black tank.

Is there a way to connect the two grey water tanks together so that we can utilize some of the kitchen sink tank for the shower?
  • Sure, we did it by making up a 3" pvc pipe with rubber elbow and 't' at opposite end with vallterra twist connectors on our 2 tank rig that had separate dumps. Simply put a valve on the end of the connector, open the dumpvalves, so that levels equalize.
    On the next rig that had 2grays with one dump, we just made up a twist on valve to put on the dump, then open the 2 gray, even the black to let all the tanks equalize. Use all your waste capacity.

    Better to run one of the gray tanks into the black tank....This will also help it dump and clean better with the extra water.


    Yes, I figured we could part of one of the grey tanks into the black.

    I'm wondering if there's a way for one grey tank to share with the other grey.
