I have the same unit, Carl.  I don't understand your question.

The dump valve for the black water tank is in the rear compartment of the 
trailer (behind the license plate) on the left side, all the way to the 
back of the compartment (toward the hitch), at the bottom.

It has a black plastic tapered handle which is held in place with two wire 
bails that clip over it's ends.  Release the wire bails, and pull up about 
3" to the point where the motion stops.  You will be having 'flow' at that 
point.

As for a grey water tank, there is not a practical place to put it, at 
least from my investigations and questions.  You CAN, of course, leave the 
aforementioned valve open, and the dump cap (left lower side of bumper) on, 
and your grey water will enter the black water tank.  You will fill it 
rather quickly, though.  And, IMPORTANT..... you must add a bayonet style 
coupling to the dump cap output that has a gate valve in it if you do this. 
 Otherwise, when you remove the dump cap, you will get a blast of 
black/grey water (even if you have the valve closed).

My advice for grey water?  Connect up a 'blue thing' to collect the grey, 
and dump it regularly (mine fills 2x a day with 2 adults, showers, cooking 
and cleaning; less if you are conservative).

Feel free to write off line if you have more questions.
