RiverStone tank sizes

We have purchased a 2018 1/2 RiverStone 39RKFB. The spec sheets list the tanks sizes as:

Fresh tank - 95 gallons
Grey tank - 82 gallons
Black tank - 82 gallons

My question is, are there really only three tanks? Or are there possibly up to five tanks? My guess is that there are two grey and two black tanks with a total capacity of 82 gallons. In the convenience center I only see three valves, marked from left to right: Black Tank, Galley tank and Bath tank. But I seem to remember seeing another valve near the dump station.

I would like to know the capacity of the tanks IF there is more than one grey or black tank. I know our Columbus had two grey tanks and the tank servicing the bath/laundry is obviously larger that the galley. But I have no documentation to prove this. I'd like to know the caps before we start camping. Thanks

DO you have a bath and a half (without my having to look it up)? If so, you have two black tanks. Most black tanks are 40 gallons or so.

You do have two gray tanks...........bath and galley.

Yes we do have a bath and a half. So from your statement I'm guessing we have four waste tanks in total. Next question; are they all equal in size? 41 gallons each?

You should have 4 waste water tanks @ 41 gal. each, one for the kitchen, one for the shower, one black for the main bath and one black for the half bath probably serving the toilet and the sink.

That's 2170 lbs total btw. incl. the freshwater.

We have a 2017 38FB...1.5 bath and it has 4 holding tank handles in the convenience center. 2 are labeled "BLACK TANK", 1 is labeled "GALLEY TANK" and 1 is labeled "BATH TANK".

I believe the blacks tanks are for the respective water closets. The bath tank is for the main bath sink, shower and cloths washer, and the galley for the kitchen sink, dishwasher, and 1/2 bath sink.
