New to the Forum; Question about 8314BSS

Howdy folks, I'm new to the this forum so I wanted to introduce my self. We've been RV'ing for about 9 years and are looking to move up to the Rockwood Sig Ultra Light model 8314BSS. I have a question directed to owners of this rig or to anyone who might have the answer. I have a FR brochure that shows the grey tank size as 76 gallons, but the FR website now says the grey tank is 43 gallons. Which is correct? If it's 46 gal, does anyone know if this model can be ordered from FR with a larger grey tank?

TIA

One thing to look at is the location of the galley water "pull valve", mine was under the slide out which is the living room area, now in order to open the valve I had to slide on the ground under the slide out to open the valve, this is not a good thing when the ground is wet from rain or when it is raining or the person before you dump some of there access black water from there hose or drain some of there black water on the ground. My camper was an 8314ss 2006 model so I think Forest Fiver still has the same design, It really needs to be changed and you have to be careful when you pull on the handle. The cable is double nutted on a piece of black plastic, if the cable gets tight and the valve handle becomes hard to pull the plastic will brake and at this point you will need two hands to open the valve, one hand to hold the double nut area and the other hand to pull the valve handle at this point you are just on your knees under the slide out trying to balance yourself and after your dump is complete you have to close the valve the same way you open it. I did post a pic of this when it happen to me. Not to steer you away, just to prepare you.
