I note that the OP is in Florida. Perhaps emptying the gray water tank won't be a problem there.
It is worthy of note though, that if they should happen to come West, and set up in a Forest Service campground, there probably will not be a dump station, nor will they be allowed to trickle the waste water onto the ground or in the brush, nor can it be dumped into the vault toilets. When the tank gets full, the only option is to go to town and dump it. That could be a five mile trip (one way), or it could be 50 miles, depending on where they were camping. The fee to use a dump site can range from free to ten dollars!
Needless to say, water conservation is an absolute necessity, and soon becomes a way of life.
Good luck.
