Gray water drainage design help (see drawing)
Hi everyone, I'm working on my very first DIY camper conversion, using a 2010 extended Ford E250. I'm trying to plan out my gray water sewage system, I want to keep everything above the floor in...

The holding tank under the sink will work just fine. But the tank the shower drains into will not. The tank will fill only as full as the height of the floor of your shower. That tank needs to be lower than your shower. If not, you'll have water standing in your shower.
A better option is to simply do away with the bilge pump idea and have 2 separate independent holding tanks with drains at each one. The tank still need to be UNDER the shower floor, unless you raise the shower floor.
I think you'll find the bilge pump idea will quickly be a PITA. Let gravity do what it does best, .... make water flow down hill.
You have room under the sink for a tank there, make room under the shower. Your toilet is a cassette port-a-potty style, so nothing to extra plumb there. It's self contained.
About dumping that water on the ground ... um ... you really need to rethink that.
