My Fuzion 405 Touring Edition II has 3 holding tanks. One for the shower, one for the main toilet and one for the 1/2 bath, kitchen sink and washer(where the fridge was). Anyone know the capacities?

According to the specs it looks like 3 - 43 gal tanks .... they list it as 43 gal gray and 86 gal waste. The shower, lav sinks, and galley should all go to the gray tank and each toilet have it's own black tank. Each waste tank must be directly below a toilet.

I was told the 1/2 bathtoilet and sink and the kitchen sink go to the same gray tank.

If a toilet drains into a tank it is a "Black Water" tank. Some trailers have been made with a sink draining into a black tank but odor problems can occur if the sinks trap dries out odors will enter trailer. With only the gray tank dump valve open ... run some water in each sink and the shower. I think you will find they all go to that tank. That is the only way to know for sure. Let us know what you find, Hank

Not the same trailer, but my Cougar 293SAB has 1.5 bathrooms and four tanks (two black, two grey). As it turns out, the kitchen has its own grey, the front main bathroom has its own grey and own black, and the rear half bathroom has both the sink and the toilet going to the same black tank. I had to run water through each separately and dump separately to figure all of that out.

This is he only way to tell for sure. If you plan on dry camping or without full hookups it is critical to know what goes where to extend your stay and avoid filing only one tank. If your trailer is still new and tanks are clean you can do this with clean water in your own drive-way. If your sink drains to a black tank like 96Brigadier be sure to maintain antifreeze in that trap while in storage or you will get black tank odors in the trailer. ......... Just noticed you are in Florida, so water in the trap should be OK also.
