Disposal of Gray and Black Water
As a single person intending to live full time in a motorhome, how often would I have to dispose of gray and black water? Where can I (legally) dispose of gray and black water while on the road? ...

My "House" has 36 gallon tanks. I normally dump once a week but have gone as long as 10 days. This RV has 3 tanks. ONE black, one Gray and one "WASH" (The wash tank handles the shower, and the main bathroom lav's which are NOT used, the BLack both toilets and the Gray the Front lav and Kitchen sink)
I do leave the valve open on the Shower (Wash) tank. so that will affect your figures.
Where is it legal to dump depends on the tank.
Many places (NOT ALL) allow Wash water to just be dumped on the ground.. I mean this is the same as if you set up an outdoor shower after all.
Still some restrict it
Gray water.. A few places also allow it to be dumped anywhere, very few, Some parks have gray water dumps specific to gray water. I've seen that in two places (Some not many)
All Rv parks, several truck stops, Some Camping worlds, If you belong to Moose, Elks etc some of them. Have proper sewer dump stations (I usually call that "A proper hole in the ground"
Cost, Free to 10 bucks Depending on the owner of the hole in the ground.
Some rest areas used to have dump stations but alas, most of those were abused and have now been closed.
