We have a CONNECT RB261 which has rear bath (RB) which means one black and one grey tank in the rear, and one grey for kitchen way up in the front.
It's a pain dumping the front tank. I would have prefered the two grey tanks connected together. I realize you may need a manual valve in between so if you had 3/4 full in both grey tanks and went up a steep hill it wouldn't flood the shower out onto the inside of the RV. But still, two separate dump tanks is a pain in the .... black tank
I'm considering doing the connection myself, and will put in a valve to isolate them while moving....
.... I have seen a few posts from others with split tanks and how they connected tanks together so it isn't a large job, just need to find some place to do the work.
My association won't let me keep RV parked at the house to do the job, and most campgrounds won't let you do that work either......

I would really measure everything out and have all the materials and equipment you may need, maybe contact a warehouse or business that is close and closes for the weekend and ask if you could park it there for a few hours and do the work,, or find a close campground that has large sites, you'll be under the camper most of the time so whos going to see what your doing. we just got a 2021 391 and would like to do the same thing,,, take a lot of pics when you do the project please |

We met up with a friend of my wife's, who she hasn't seen since h.s. They have a Keystone TT and were complaining about this same issue. I mentioned that I'd read posts on several fora about people who'd connected the 2 grey tanks together. Not sure they'd be up to it themselves, but they now know it's doable.

There's usually a one-way "valve" in-line on the shower drain that takes the place of a P trap. That =should= prevent any backflow back into the shower. Also, IMO, it would have to be one steep road for that to be an issue. :-) Lyle |

I simply run a garden hose from the galley tank to the sewer, I don't think it is worth the effort or risk to plumb them together.
