We can go four days easy on that tank, wife loves to cook lots of dirty dishes.
I only fill the sink about 1/3 to 1/2 full to wash, then use a very small stream to rinse.

Even with hook ups I keep all shut, then drain in the following order.
1 Black tank.
2 Galley, little greasy.
3 Grey water, (Vanity and shower), this is the cleanest wathe and leaves the stinky slinky clean to put away.

Would you dump your Galley tank if it got full?? Of course you would.

Are you saying it's almost full based on the sensors? Those can be very unreliable.

Use paper, and use less water when washing dishes..don't let the water run continuously when rinsing. If you aren't on full hook-ups you can't wash dishes like you do at home.

If necessary...
I also use a RubberMaid dish pan that fits in the sink.....then carry this to the toilet and dump it in the black tank...Lots of soapy water is good for the black tank and saves room in the galley tank.

x2, between showers and washing dishes/stuff the black and grey end up being at about the same when done.

Or, if you're boondocking in the forest, simply dump the dishwater under a tree. I'm sure that it will appreciate a little extra water and nutrients! 🙂 I know our AZ forests do. They're so dry that you won't even see the wet spot in about an hour.

Depends on what year you have.... Looks like they switched between 40 and 60 gallon tanks over the years.

Keystone Specs 2010

Once on the page above you can change between years.

You can leave gray open while camping and just leave the black closed until you are ready to dump/leave...

That's what we do!
