Call your dealer as they should have showed you where it is . That what you paid them for. Unless you bought it used then I would call the seller.

Yeah I agree I'm planning on calling them today now that they are open but I was hoping to maybe get a reply last night.... they did show me the one that is on the panel where all the shore hookups/ external shower is. Thanks though

If you don't have your answer yet.... our second blackwater is actually grey water for the clothes washer drain. The drain is in the rear side near the gas pump area on our T3612. We don't have a washer so have not used it, but it was labeled "blackwater" on the outside above the drain.

WOW, have NEVER seen an rv with two black tanks...

Two grey tanks, many times,
the galley to one grey tank and the bath sinks, shower, washing machine to the other.

but only one black tank tied to the potty of course...

Yeah...I have a 3912 too. You have one black tank. The panel in the living are is used for several RVs, so you can ignore the ref to the 2nd black tank.

You have two (2) GREY tanks. One is for the main shower and sink in the bathroom, the other is exclusively for the sink in the living room.

The release for GREY # 1 is where you'd expect it to be, the release for GREY # 2 is located just infront of the wheels. Can't miss it really once you know it's there.

Hope this helps.

Matt.

My 3616 has two gray water tanks and one blackwater tank. However, the rear gray water tank drain is mis-labelled as blackwater. It is for the washer drain in garage. The dealer pointed this out to me during PDI. To be sure, you can look at the size of the drain pipe running from tank to the rear hose connection. It is smaller than a blackwater pipe.

Keep looking. Look at a 5th with 1.5 baths. 2 black tanks.

Ah, I guess they would do that

our rv is an older 2014 from way back in July of last year so hadn't seen any of those with bath & 1/2 ...

but guess ours is a bath & 1/4 -
split bath with shower on one side and sink in the 1/2 bath on the other
and another sink in the corner of the bedroom where the wife does her makeup "process"...

Wait until you see a pull-thru rv slot with a sewer hookup at each end, and one RV hooked up to both...

You can have two hook-ups with two grays and one black.

Hey, always on the lookout to be lazy and hook up hoses to the sewer and not have to do anything but pull the valve!

You do have three valve handles at your water hook-up station, right?

I have a black water tank, two gray water tanks (bath and kitchen) and holding tank for washer dryer. The specs say 40 gals black and 80 gals gray. Does anyone know if the 80 gals includes the washer tank? I'd like to know the size of all three tanks bathroom, kitchen, and washer? I don't have and never will have a washer, has anyone repurposed that tank? Maybe for extra fresh water? Or more gray water holding for the shower?

You have 40g grey for the bathroom and 40g grey for the galley kitchen (which includes the washer/dryer.

The 80g is combined total of both tanks.
