I read to never leave both grey and black valves open at same time to prevent gas from going back in

They're making it way to complicated. Hook up slinky and drain the black tank. While the tank is draining hook up the hose to the black tank flush. When the black tank is done draining, leave the black tank valve open and drain the grey tank. While the grey tank is draining turn on the water to the black tank flush. Flush the black tank for about 2 minutes ±. Turn off the water to the black tank flush and disconnect hose. When both tanks are done draining close both valves, put on the cover, stow slinky, and leave. Total time - less then 10 minutes (probably closer to 7). Total time wasted on nonsense flushing - None. Total time forcing other people to wait in line for your OCD - None.
Let's assume for a second that gas does go back in. So what, it's not getting into the rv because of the p-traps and besides the tanks are vented. Secondly, the second you use either tank you can start to generate gas. So what you going to do, empty the tank every hour so you don't get any gas in them. Don't know where you read such nonsense but think over what you read, some is credible, some not so much.
