New to forum Gray Tank questions

[newhen]

Two year full timer now traveling alone. Can anyone explain what the gray tank 1 and gray tank 2 are used for, galley, shower, laundry area? This is in a 2009 3600RE Bighorn. Thanks!

Newhen, welcome to the forum.
I do not know what the tank designation number is on your particular floor plan but I do know that one will be for the galley, and one will be for the bath sik, shower and laundry.
You can add a little food coloring to your galley sink and observe the color of your drain water. You will need a clear fitting on your dump hose.

Peace
Dave

Ditto on a 2010 3580 B/H

Also you mentioned "laundry area", it should be on the same tank as the shower, bathroom sink,, if you have a washer and it is in the front, I think you need to make sure the drain is open when using the washer.

Hopefully someone with the same floor plan will jump in soon.

Thanks for all the replies. Still learning all the things I don't know or didn't know that the husband did. Next step is learning to properly back up the trailer!

We just purchased a 2011 Landmark Grand Canyon. Previously, we have only had one grey tank. Assuming both tanks are mounted at the same height in the trailer, would I be correct that we can cap the main outlet, open both grey water drain valves, and expect the two tanks to fill equally?

Hi Al-Gibb,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and to the Family. We have a great bunch of people here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge if needed.

Yes, both the gray tanks are at the same level. Can I ask why you would want to do that? When you take the cap off, unless you install a valve in it's place, you will get a lot of used water on you.
