I have a Grey Tank I don't know what it is for

I have as 2010 Cougar. Near the front of the RV it has a grey tank that serves kitchen and bath sinks and shower. There is also pull lever near the back of the RV and a small sign on the side of the RV "grey tank." I have no idea what this is for. None of my manuals show this. Any idea? Thanks
  • Thank you all for your feedback concerning my grey tanks. We figured it out! I thought the kitchen sink drained into the main grey tank, but it drains into that rear RV tank. Since I generally keep the grey water tank open I did not realize this.

    And it’s empty and doesn’t run any water no matter which sink or faucet you use?
  • I assume you are saying you have a drain near the front, maybe with the black tank, then an extra drain near the back?

    mine, not a cougar, has 2 grey tanks, one for the shower and bath sink and one for the kitchen sink. Both levers, and the black, are in the same spot. But, I have seen trailers with drains in 2 places.
  • Boy howdy when you pull that lever you will drain your Grey tank that has collected fluids from both sinks and shower.
