The gray water tank has a roof vent.  There should not be any sewer gas build up in the tank.

All the drains have traps on them.  and your graywater tank can generate sewer gas as well.

We leave our hose connected to the gray tank, but we don't leave the valve open. Sewer gas can back up into the gray water plumbing.

Here's one I do know I have.  After boondocking, I'm assuming I don't dump Cousin Eddy style.  Are there public dumps sites available?  



IMHO that would be a good excuse to go camp at a place that does have a dump station. You could dump upon arrival and again, upon departure. A "bonus" would be the time spent enjoying the park or facility in between the 2 dumps!

There are smartphone apps, like Allstays Camp & RV, (a paid app), that will let you search for dump stations and a zillion other things.  Many campgrounds have dump stations.  Even if you don't stay there many places will let you pay to dump.

Yeah, I don't know what Cousin Eddy style is either.  You get to learn your way around after a while.  Sometimes a dump station can be a little hard to find, but I've never not been able to find one.

I was thinking of Cousin Eddy from "Christmas Vacation".  He dumped in the curb rain water drain.  Pretty funny scene.  

I do have a camping world very close by.  I will give them a call.  Thanks!
