Grey and Black Dump Valve Handles

We are buying a 2016 Shasta Revere 29 QB and noticed that it only has one dump T handle that appears to be for the black holding tank. The specs state the unit has one 45 gallon grey and one 45 gallon black tank. This is not my first TT and have been in and around RV's for years so this has me confused. I asked the dealer and he and the shop guys are stumped too. We looked everywhere possible for the grey T handle. The unit has a full underbelly enclosure and its impossible to see anything. I assume they will be calling the manufacturer and getting some tech support. Anyone ever hear of such a thing on a TT ? My first thought is that is was an oversight but how do they install a grey tank and not plumb it to a discharge? The really funny part is he got 2 of these same units in just in the past few days and they both have this same issue. Any input or suggestions? Its in the dealers hands now we have not even taken delivery yet. Its not a deal breaker just makes you go mmmmmmmm how did that happen?

    No hole or opening anywhere in the underbelly. The discharge is even different, only 1 valve and no "Y" for the smaller grey tank pipe. The larger one just loops up on a 30 degree elbow to undebelly cover. It's the large opening, the gate valve with T handle then the elbow then into the black tank, at least I hope it does. The dealer looked EVERWHERE in and around this unit and no indication it had a grey handle. The tank monitor shows a grey and black gauge. My first thought was grey and black went into same tank and only one dump. That is unknown at this time.

    Is there an empty hole where a handle should be? It's possible that the handle and rod came off at some point.

    Interesting...there absolutely has to be another valve handle somewhere.

    I have 2 gray tanks and 1 black tank...and have 3 handles.

    One of the gray tank handles is on the opposite side of the actual dump outlet. (It is for the galley gray tank. ) The other 2 handles are near the dump outlet.
