Black and/or Grey Tank

RCB

Why do we have separate tanks for black and grey water ? Would not a combined tank work equally well ? The Airsteam Basecamp has combined tanks.

I like the two tank system . . . with two tanks and a Single Drain Point one can dump the black then use the Grey to flush/clean the lower area of the black tank and the dump hose(s).

While what-if'ing-a-future-trailer I really like the inTech SOL family both dislike their combined black/grey tank.

Instead of concerns about two tanks . . . . I am far more concerned that nüCamp will only offer the new 360 with a (useless IMHO) 5-gallon cassette toilet.

I have a 2013 T@B CS-S, which is one of the earliest T@Bs with a wet bath. It has a combined tank. The downside is that if you're camping for an extended period, you might find a way to get rid of gray water if that tank fills up. You can't do that if it's combined with the black water. And if the single combined tank fills up you can have the nasty situation of black water coming up your shower drain. I am veeeerrry careful not to allow that to happen.
