This.
I have this on my to do list.
Could you be so kind as to elaborate on how you did this? What types of fittings, pipe, etc?

Thank you !

we have 116 fresh. The trailer had 38 black and 43 grey, the 4 of us would fill the grey in 1.5-2 days. The trailer has 2 fresh tanks, I moved one back and added another 36g grey, total 79 now. It's the best thing ever, 4 days no problems. The bath sink goes into black so we do all hand washing there. The weight distribution is sort of a crock of sh*t, there isn't any difference towing. My water starts out mid ship, that gets transferred to the front for 20-40 miles until I dump then there isn't any weight, I don't notice any difference.

I have 80 gray and 40 black. Hard to fill either in a 3 day weekend.

Two 32 gallon tanks does seem kinda small when you have 100 gallons of fresh water available. Last time I checked it was still illegal to dump grey water on the ground, which is stupid, but with that said if you have 100 gallons of fresh and 64 gallons of grey/black then what are you supposed to do? Find a dump station so you can use the other 40 gallons of fresh water?????

+1! Stupid design IMHO. Ours holds 100 fresh, 90 in waste tanks.

I use grey to put out campfires or whatever. Our grey is simply a little dishwater or shower rinse. I boondock most of the time.

Sounds like there needs to be a discussion next trip on economical use to the trailer's facilities including navy showers. Rhetorical question...I wonder how much TP you're going thru when the girls come? LoL I also wonder if your tanks's gauges are accurate.

I agree with earlier post....likely you can't add bigger tanks.

My '07 Ragen has 58 gal black and 58 gal grey. My original literature said the lavatory sink drained into the black tank, but I did a simple test with a 5 gal bucket of water and discovered this was not true. It didn't take me long to figure out that the black tank was only being used to a fraction of it's capacity, so I plumbed a crossover pipe between the 2 tanks. Now when the grey tank gets full it starts running over into the black tank.

Two of us can go a good 3-day weekend washing dishes and showering with no issues.

Our grey tank has a small hole half way up, never fills to capacity. Best mod ever!!

Do we know the capacities of all the OP tanks? Maybe there's a problem with how the tanks are configured or whats draining into what tank.

We have a 100 gallon fresh water tank, a 32 gallon grey and a 32 gallon black.

Adding tanks is probably not going to work. You'll be messing with the weight dynamics of your RV, chances are if they could have fit larger ones in they would have done it.

If you are camping without hook up's and campground showers are an option, make it mandatory. Outside shower works too, the PahaQue Tepee works as an outdoor shower that drains on the ground - depending on your camp site it might be an option. Others have already talked about dishes being done outside, it really is just learning to live with what you have... or upgrading ;)
