This is a tip about not filling up the grey tank too fast.
I use a big plastic dish tub that fits in one half of my sink when I do dishes. All day long I put my scraped off dishes in there with hot water and a little soap. I keep adding water to it as needed, but at the end of the day when I do dishes, I fill it up about 2/3 with hot water, a little more soap and then when I rinse the dishes I rinse over the tub so that most of that water goes into the dish tub too, so not very much into the grey tank. I am careful with water. You know a "navy shower"?, Well this is "navy dishes". When I'm all done, I mostly have clean soapy water, because I don't let food particles get in there. Then sometimes I dump it into our black tank and sometimes I dump it out in the woods a little ways wherever we are camping. That way my kitchen grey tank can pretty much last most of a whole week without dumping and helps my black tank stay clean(er).
