You are lucky, The day we picked up our Motor Home, we parked it in the dealers camp ground and proceeded to serialize the Potable Water Tank. Not wanting to dump the bleach water on the ground, I turned on the bathroom sink faucet and opened the Gray Tank Dump Valve to flush the water into the park sewage system. I did not know the Bath Room Sink drained to the Black Water Tank. We found out when the water started running down the hallway. The SeaLand Toilet has an over flow port so if the water valve leaks the water will overflow to the Black Tank. In my case, the Over Flow Port allowed Black Tank to over flow into the bowl and then over the rim. We had to get the carpet cleaned and when we finished the season, I ripped the carpet out and replaced it with Alure Flooring. I learned a valuable lesson that day, Open BOTH tank drain valves on a new to you unit until you know what you have.
I was actually worried about that, because I thought the sink that is in the lav compartment drained into the black tank. So I thought when I went into the motorhome even if the toilet didn't overflow that the sink surely would have been back up. But it did not. So now I'm not sure if it drains to the black tank or not.
