2016/17 35k - is there a 2nd black tank for half bath?
Where exactly does the half bath (and sink) drain to?
If there isn't a second tank: are both toilets vacuflush, or just the one furthest from the black tank?
Does the half bath sink drain to black or gray?

2016 Expedition 38K both toilets drain to the same black tank and all sinks/shower to the same grey. The back toilet is the only vacuflush while the middle 1/2 bath toilet is gravity flush

And they both drain to a single black tank? How long do you go before emptying the tank? Any maintenance or operation issues with the vacuflush?

Yes, both drain to black tank. I am single person and it lasts a looooonnnnnggggggg time for me. The tank is 42 gallons. My grey fills quicker than the black and it is larger at 58 gals.
Read the vacuflush manual for maintenance. But quick advice is flush and hold the pedal to the count of 2 or 3 so the solids and enough water work through the system and doesn't get clogged. May want to do a search on this forum regarding when people have had problems and had to clean out the system. Hope you're not eating lunch when thinking about that

Look at it this way 2 people in a coach are going to fill the black tank at the same rate if there are 1 or 2 toilets in the coach.
Please do a search on here for Vacuflush issues there are a lot of threads.
Do hold the Flush lever down for at least 3 seconds for each flush, Do let the flush lever snap shut to help keep the ball valve seals clean.
There are mechanical components in the Vacuflush that will eventually need maintenance. Key thing is make sure you find the Vacuflush owners manual and read it if you get a coach with this system, there are do's and don't with this system just like any other toilet system.
WOW CG and I were both typing a response at the same time sure look similar don't they LOL

Ditto on everything CG and Al said. I went camping a while ago -- me, my GF and our Daughter (13 year old) we went the whole weekend Fri-Mon, did not fill the black tank up. The grey was a different matter with the teenage girl

Some other mfrs bath and a half floor plans have two black tanks, one for each lav.... (hence my question). So with two tanks, you'd have more time before you'd need to pump --- assuming you use both lavs.
Thanks for the info!

One last dumb question -- does that mean the tank/system is permanently under vacuum (while the system is turned on)?
If so how can the tank vent ever vent?

No, the vacuum is between the vacuum pump and the toilet. The other side of the pump connects to the tank. The tank vents to the roof as normal.

Thanks, got it. Do the vacuum pumps ever get clogged up?
