X2, almost, our outside kitchen sink drains into one grey and the inside kitchen sink, bathroom sink and shower drain into the other grey tank. 2 separate valves, wish they were plumbed together from the factory so there was only one valve, that way we would have a lot more usable grey water storage...

The guy that designed that plumbing never used an RV. I have 2 gray tanks, 1 for the bathroom and 1 for the kitchen. One of the items on my list always is NO outside kitchen, once was enough.

My trailer has 2 gray tanks and one black. There is a unique dump valve for each of the 3 tanks. There is only one dump outlet which handles all three tanks.

Not all are like this. When we were shopping for our Mini Lite, I saw some with a gray and black that both go to one dump outlet, and then a 2nd gray that has it's own outlet. The specific one I saw had a slide stuck out in between; I knew it wasn't something I was going to like. And since one outlet was in front of the axles and the other one was behind the axles, I didn't see that they could be hard-piped together very well.

So you need to understand exactly what you are getting or have.
