Bob -
I'm not sure if opening both of the gray tank valves (galley and shower) would ""equalize" the two tanks. Trying to visualize it and can't see how that would work - if you do have two separate gray tanks.
I cut off about 8 in off the sewer outlet and put on a Valterra 3" slide valve and a Valterra end cap with a hose fitting on it. This setup prevents any sudden gush of stuff coming out of the tanks by letting me control the flow with the valve. It also stops any surprises that might happen as a result of not closing your tank valves and then loosening and removing the end cap.
The hose fitting at the end cap also provides a means of "bleeding" off small quantities of liquids from the gray water tanks - into a hose or into a bucket.
It's just another way of having a bit more control over the volume of liquids coming out of the tanks and perhaps not requiring you to "stand back" when emptying the tanks.
