Since someone else dredged this thread up, I'll jump in on this part... My 181G has 2 valves & 2 outlets. Looking at some with one outlet and probably 2 valves, what the heck? I mean, my tanks are right next to each other, seems like it was be easy & simple to have made one outlet. Has anybody done this mod that you guys know of? Looks like simple black pipe work to me.

Well, I kinda like having them separate. While it may not be considered valid reasoning, my thought is...
I rarely camp with full hookup and my black tank requires emptying about a fifth (or less) time than my grey tank. Generally, we may fill 10-15 gallons of grey water per day and maybe a gallon or so of black depending on showers, hair washing, chile dinner, etc. It's a pain to break camp to find a dump station so I use this cap on my grey tank and carry a five gallon bucket with lid. It's very easy for me to empty grey tank into bucket a time or two and empty @ wash station, campsite toilet or elsewhere as needed without breaking camp. I suppose I could do the same with a unified waste port, but then my bucket would be contaminated with blackwater effuse from the common port and I probably couldn't carry the bucket in my TV. That's why I like them separate. fred

Fred, although you would have only one discharge point, you would have separate black and grey water valves to control which tank is being emptied. Your cap would still work fine for dumping from the grey tank only.

What it looks like to me (admittedly uninformed Rookie): 1. Black water tank touches common port. 2. Common port is now contaminated. 3. Cap goes on common port. 4. Cap is now contaminated. Is this not right? If you then flush grey water through the cap's hose connection, you might reduce the contamination level, but it's still contaminated. Or so it seems to me.

Yeah John (or Teri), that's what I'm thinking. Although you would have separate valves for grey and black, Bob, You still have a common exit point.
I'm not a microbiologist (however, I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express) but the common exit port seems to me to be a contamination point with effluent potentially much more obnoxious than the grey water contaminates. fred

My thought:
Unless there is a long line at the dump station it is not that long or hard a job. Switching the hose is not hard Unless you plan on drinking the grey water who cares if the cap gets contaminated |

It is very common with RVs to have one outlet. I thought it was very strange to have 2 on my Pod. You normally dump black, then grey, which cleans the last bit at least some. I still wouldn't drink the stuff...
