I am a California Class A rv desert camper. We often dry camp for 7-14 days. I use a sewer cap with garden hose thread, attached to that is a 1/2 black hose that is zipped tied to the frame and dumps the grey water very close to the ground by the inside rear tire.
Grey water has no smell if you do not hold it. The ground is not wet because it absorbs faster than we use it. When dry camping the valve is open. I close it a day or two before heading off to have grey water to chase the black at the dump station.
Agreed, I use a 25' garden hose with adapter fitting on the grey water cap. It drains as its used whe boondocking at a private campground that allows it so long as it's drained Into the woods away from the sites. Never smelled it once.
X2. It is important to remember these comments and a few others in this thread. Do not hold your grey water. A constant trickle under the rig is best. In my favourite summer primitive campground the dry forest mat absorbs the grey very quickly.
There are many tenters that share this beautiful place too. Portable showers and sinks abound.
