Folks, when i bought my 2011 RP172, there was no cap for the Black/Grey water release. I don't see it a big deal as the valves are just behind that opening so i don't think any critters will get in there. Should i buy a cap or leave it? I will put something over it when i winterize, for sure.

The caps are cheap, I'd get one. Should come with the strap.

Sometimes the valves leak. You probably don't want to be dribbling black water as you head down the road. Better to deal with it when you get to a pump out station. Open it slowly and have a bucket under it to catch any leakage or plan on cleaning your shoes and pants.
