It's my understanding that the gray tank valve should also remain closed to prevent sewer gas from escaping through the grey tank and out of the roof vent. I was told that this is a source of bad campground odor. In addition, aren't there things like grease and other solids that can build up in the gray tank if it isn't allowed to fill? Another reason to let the gray tank fill is that it provides a nice way to rinse the waste line after dumping and cleaning the black tank.
See, I am learning!
