2018 Cougar 32RLI Blk/Gry tank question

[Lipdawg]

We just bought a 2018 Cougar 32RLI. It has two outlets that drain to the sewer. One has the usual valve with the T handle pull valve. The other has no valve, and appears to just drain the kitchen sink that is in the island. If the one with the valve is the black tank, where is the grey tank for the shower, and how do I drain it? I wish I had seen this before I bought it, but its mine now, and I'm confused. This is our 4th RV, and I've never encountered anything like this before. Anyone able to offer some insight?

Welcome to the forum


Often times the pull handle is hiding just behind the rear tire.

The lines are in front of the tires on this model, 2018 32rli. I can see that the line with no valve goes up to the island sink. I'm trying to figure out where the shower grey tank is, and where the black tank is, as I expect them to have separate valves. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

The black tank handle, as you already know, goes through the frame rail and is kind of obvious. The gray tank handle is BEHIND the frame rail. It sticks out through the coroplast. You have to get really low to see it. I have same camper.

Ok, I'll crawl under it at look after the rain stops...lol. It looks like the kitchen sink is just straight piped out, with no valve on it? Is that correct, or am I missing something there?

Sticking out of the coroplast is the handle to the gray water tank. The kitchen sink, the bathroom sink and the shower are all piped into this tank. Pull the handle and the tank will empty. I just move the drain hose from black to gray, using one hose. A number of posters have used a Y with two connections. Whatever works for you.

Ok, I found the other handle. I had to get on my back and shimmy under it, but I found it, sticking out of the top of the frame. Thank you for the help, I greatly appreciate it.
