The equalization method you suggested is a good idea but I'm thinking about having to loosen the garden hose to get the cap off every time we dump unless I can leave enough slack in the hose. (The hose would have to be around 16 feet as the tanks are on opposite ends of the trailer.) The only issue would be when dumping I would have whatever water that is in the hose and caps on the ground when removing the cap to dump. But on the bright side I would only have to dump from the rear valves. See any other issues with this?
I've been using a cheap HF 12V pump to off load my gray water to a 30-gallon drum in the truck bed. Never had an issue with clogging but we're careful about letting big chunks of food go down the drain.
I found a NIB macerator pump on Craigslist. It has more volume and pressure than the cheap pump.
The cheap way to equalize the gray tanks would be to get 2 caps w/ garden hose nipples and make a short piece of hose w/ female connectors on each end.
