Flagstaff 625D grey water disposal solutions

I just bought a 625D pop up with gray water drains on opposite corners for the shower and sink. I have until spring to figure this out but what are the most common remedies for catching, draining and disposing of the gray water in this thing. Two of those low profile tanks? Five gallon pails and haul to the toilet? or some McGyver tubing fix?

While I now have an A-frame, I've used the same system on my last pop-up and my 2 A-frames. I rig up a hose to fit the sink outlet and drain the hose into a bucket. The bucket gets poured into the nearest drain or bathroom when needed. If we are out in the boonies, the bucket gets poured on vegetation nearby. We used the inside sink very minimally - usually only for teeth brushing - so the bucket seldom filled in less than a week. Dishes were/are washed at the picnic table using 2 sink tubs (one for wash, one for rinse).

We never used the inside shower in our Coleman PUP.

We might start using the deeper sink a little more in our new high wall A-frame. But old habits die hard.

That makes a lot of sense since there is alwasy a bathroom nearby. I can get one of those low profile tanks for the shower side but I can fit a fiver under that as well.

This is for the kitchen sink drain and this is for the shower drain.

I rarely have water or septic hookups so these tanks will work great. Previously on other pop ups I used home made vents so I could loop long stretches of hose to just the 25 gallon tank from both the shower and sink.

With the new camper, I'll keep the heavy 25 gallon next to the tongue where it just has to be pulled a few feet to the truck and the 6 gallon is light enough to carry to the truck.

What kind of hose fitting does that require?

This is the type, with a female connection on each end.

I drain sink into a 5 gallon bucket and dump it on the fire before I go in at night to put it out. I don’t use the inside shower unless I can run a hose to sewer....

Is there a convenient way to tie both the discharge from the sink (on one corner of our Rockwood Premier) and the discharge from the shower (on the other corner) to a common drain line running to the sewer connection?
