- More_To_SeeExplorerKeep in mind that two tanks give some options for weight distribution too.
- dave17352ExplorerI agree with all the posters here. Now on occasion I have equalized my tanks when I need more grey water room by opening the grey valve and leaving the black tank valve closed. This brings them to the same level. So at them time its like I have only one combined tank. But that is when I am dry camping. My TC has 46 gallon fresh tank and I know I can run it dry with the capacity of both tanks being used. But usually I keep them separate.

There has been a couple occasions when I forgot to check the grey tank level. Backed up into the shower while I was in there. Found myself standing in an inch or two of water. Glad it was grey and not a mix of black.

- korbeExplorerYou can combine them and that new tank will be called the "black tank". Jurisdictions may have different dumping parameters for the different types of tanks.
- TexasShadowExplorer IInone other than practical.
gray water can be dumped, sometime, at some places, on the ground, legally, where black water must always be dumped in a legal sewer receptacle.
so sometimes, you can extend your stay at a campground without moving your rig. - powderman426ExplorerThats what I did. It worked fine.
