double tank drains

my son just bought a 28' TT and it has two grey tanks, one for the kitchen, one for the bathroom. TT is rear kitchen with mid restroom so the two drains are over 10' apart. Does anyone use some type of "T" to connect the two when hooked up? Since they're both just grey water a garden hose will drain them so thought about adapting the kitchen to 3/4" hose and connecting that to the 4", anyone do that?
  • I use a y connector at the sewer pipe with regular sewer hoses
  • My FW has two drains about 10' apart as well (both drain black with 2 baths so garden hose is not an option) and I use the Dominator sewer hose kit as it has various lengths of hose available and also a Y. Quality seems to be much higher than the cheap stuff from Walmart, etc. Not sure if there is any one method that is better than the other as I can see both ways working fine. I wanted a higher quality hose and it happened to have a Y so I went for it.

    setting up a tee is just extra work.
  • I just move the hose to the galley drain when needed every 3 to 10 days.
  • I run the kitchen drain thru a garden hose to the campground sewer. There is a fitting with both 3" and garden connections.

    I wouldn't hook the outlets together on the trailer because of getting flow back and forth between them.
  • I don’t keep grey tank values open. How will you flush out the hose after draining the black tank? Heck, how will you flush out the grey tank?
