Where does the grey water go in a camper?
Grey water tank: The grey water tank is where your used water from the sink and shower go. Black water tank: The black water tank is where the waste from your toilet ends up. If a camper doesn’t have a grey water tank, the used water will end up here as well.
Can a black waste tank be used as a fresh water tank?

What’s the difference between grey and black water tanks?
Grey water is all the water used in your RV, except what goes to flush the toilet. That water is called black water.

Both grey and black water tanks drain into the same outlet but have different valves.
What to do when Grey tank won’t drain?

Hopefully doing this will unclog your grey tank.
