Where does the bathroom sink drain?

I have 2016 Bay Star Sport 3004. In previously owned motorhomes the bathroom sink drained into the black tank. Is that the case in my Bay Star or does it drain into the gray water tank?

Thanks,

I'm curious about how you did a 12volt outlet in your bedroom? I'd like to do the same but don't know where to pickup a 12volt source.

My home base is currently near Westminster in Carroll County. I'll contact Newmar before I proceed with doing anything about the egress window.
