Black/Grey tanks
Just an idle question ? Why do RV's have separate black and grey tanks. I have a septic system at home; black and grey wastes flow through the same pipes into the same tank; eventually to the field....

My 100 year old grandmother brags to this day about the ingenuity of my grandfather who installed electrics and a flush toilet in their first camper. He cut a hole through the floor and bolted down a porcelain throne. He'd just fill up the water tank when they needed it, and gravity did the rest. That's right, no black tank, just a hole in the floor.
Ahh, the good old days!
Years ago I worked out of an Office in a Building on a pier at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington.
During WWII the building had been the Women's Head or Bathroom.
You could still see the indentations under the linoleum where each toilet had sat... probably 75+ toilets dumping into Puget Sound.
Earlier when I was going to sea on submarines, it was standard practice on the 12-04 AM watch to use air to blow the contents into the river. (No longer done.)
Let me assure you the Security Guards on watch topside, depending on wind direction and the tide, were not happy.
