Hooking up rear gray tank

Hello all! Newbie to the forum. We just purchased a new 282RKS and it has the regular black/gray connection up front. It also has a rear gray tank connection (galley) at the back. These dumps look to be about 15-18' apart. I was wondering what kind of setups you guys have done to connect both. I don't want to worry about switching one house around to dump. I was hoping to get some ideas of connecting as close to the trailer as I can. Advice and pics would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

If you use a fitting like THIS or there are others made by Valterra to run two drains to one hose.

That's what I have in mind as of now. I was just wondering if there was any other ways it has been done. Possibly with a smaller diameter hose? Running the rear drain hose along side the trailer and connecting rather than having 2 drain hoses running to the sewer connection.

If you run one hose from the sewer connection to the trailer and put the wye next to the trailer you can then run a hose each way to the two connections.

Personally, I would let the back gray tank fill. When it's full, switch the hose to it and drain it, good way to wash out the sewer hose after being connected to the black.

This is what we did when we had our North Trail. We would hook up one hose and leave the gray open for the shower. Close that gray the night before we were to leave. Dump the black then the gray and then move the hose. Only once did I have to move the hose to dump some of the back tank before we were ready to leave, not a big issue.
