I currently have a grey tank that collects water from 1/2 the kitchen sink
and from the bath sink. The black is still getting water from the shower to
keep things 'mixed' when on the road. Fresh water is never a problem,
getting rid of waste water, particularly black is always a problem! Just
sayin' I also have a maserator but that doesn't do anything for expanding
black storage.
The idea of a larger Black Tank does appeal as I am a boon-docker not a
camper....
