Any way to increase grey water capacity on 211RD
We like our 2012 Z-1 211RD very much; however the 26 gal. capacity for the grey water greatly limits how long we can camp without sewer connections. The tank on the Casita, we once owned, had an air gap which, once vented ,increased the grey water capacity. Does anyone know if the Z-1 26 gal. tank has a similar situation or of any other solution to this limitation?

If you have two grey water tanks, galley and bathroom, you can put one of the Valterra valves on the end of your dump valve. Then just open both of the dump valves for the grey water tanks and they will equalize.
Just make sure the Vaterra valve is closed when you open the other two. 
The valve will look similar to this but should have the twist lock on both sides.

There are Two things you can do to help. First get a plastic tub to do dishes in and dump it down the toilet into the black tank. Second get a portable waste tank that you can empty your grey tank into. You can then use your TV or golf cart to take the portable tank to the dump station.

Most of the campgrounds we go to that don't have onsite sewage have a Honeydipper truck to pump you out. Cost $7 - $10.

Ask when camping, too. Some campgrounds have "grey" drains.
We are seasonal without sewer (gasp!)...but we have a grey drain so we can drain grey water (thru cap with garden-hose attachment).

Trade up to a trailer with bigger tanks. Some Croasroads trailers have 80 gallons of gray water capacity. We can go a week without dumping if needed.

As far as I know, the 80 gals. you mentioned is achieved by adding the two 40 gal grey tanks together. I have never heard of a Crossroads with one 80 gal. tank.

My SF270BH has two 40 gal. grey tanks. One is for the kitchen sink. The other is for the outdoor kitchen sink, bathroom sink and shower.
