New to us 3025RL

We just bought a 2014 Blue Ridge 3025RL and have a question.
The water control panel has a black and gray drain handle. The specs list this model as having 1 fresh. 1 gray, and 1 black tank.
The fresh drain is at the rear bumper road side and is opened manually.
My question is that there is another pull handle accessed by a round threaded cosmetic plug a few inches forward of the low point drains on the road side.
The question is what is this to? There is a label on the skirting stating that it is also a waste water drain but there is only 1 gray tank. No half bath either.
No rig specific manuals were in the camper.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Usually most rigs have the gray and black piped to common outlet (the one with the plug) that your sewer hose connects to pulling the valve handles opens the tank to that common drain I'm assuming this is what you are taking about.

Why are there 3 pull handles for 2 waste tanks. That is my question. All tanks are forward of the axles. The fresh tank has its own drain and is 15 feet away.
Thanks.

Evidently the specs detail is wrong/vague. The gray tank must be saddled over some obstruction hence requiring the 2 pulls. The fresh is listed as 73 gals, with both black and gray listed at 60 gals each.
Just FYI Forest River sucks on their online help portal. The portal states expect 2 to 3 days for a reply. Maybe they meant weeks or months. It's all good.

Having owned that same year unit the answers are 1 Black tank 2 grey tanks and 1 fresh water tank. Black tank use is obvious. One grey tank for bath sink and shower. One grey tank for kitchen sink. There for 3 pull handles. Fresh water tank is manually drained by unscrewing plug below tank at the rear of the unit.
