Fiver with bath and half

Do most fifth wheels with two bathrooms have two black tanks and two dump lines.

Fiver with bath and half

I think it depends on the layout. If the 1/2 bath is in the back and the other in the front I’d say yes. I’m not sure about the front bath models with the 1/2 bath a little ways away from the other. That’s a real good question.

Most do. But there are a couple I've found that the gally tank was replaced by a second black tank. So make sure you do your research. It would be a bad surprise when your washing dishes and the black tank overflows.

If your getting a 5ver with a bath and half, make sure the gally is separate. That's my best advice. Otherwise, find what you like best.

Yes we have two black tanks with a dump valve for each tank. Main bath is in the front and half bath is in the back. Our 5th wheel has 5 tanks total.

Are there any models that use only 2 tanks one black and one grey.
By my way of thinking the fewer tanks the fewer problems.

None that I'm aware of share tanks.

My model shares sewer outlets but I still have separate tanks for everything.

We have a bath and a half. Both toilets drain to a single black tank and all gray water to a single gray tank.

Yep, my 1.5 bath (Hideout 308bhds) has two black tanks and one gray. Black tank in 1/2 bath in the bedroom does toilet and sink, gray is kitchen sink, main bath sink and tub/shower. Main black tank is main bathroom toilet AND outdoor kitchen sink. The outdoor kitchen sink into the black tank threw me at first but is pretty nice when dumping/filling so you don't have to stand with your foot on the pedal.

The whole two black tank thing is a bit of the PITA when dumping but I'll gladly take the hassle for the benefit of two bathrooms. Getting a macerator and dumping at home is by far the best thing I've ever done with respect to making camping easier.

Our bath and a half has two black tanks and one gray. The gray is shower and kitchen. Front black for master. Front tanks all drain through same outlet upfront.

The half bath has a black tank in the back that is shared for toilet and sink and has it's own dump valve/line.
