Probably penny wise and pound foolish all in all.

I recently asked a similar question. When I don't have a sewer hookup, my gray tank inevitably fills long before the black tank (perhaps because I'm NOT full of it, thank you
). I use a sewer solution to drain tanks, and thought of draining my gray into my black via a hose that went into the black tank sprayer. I had been filling a five gallon bucket from the sewer solution, carrying it in and dumping it down the toilet. The possibility of tripping with a load of nasty water.... ech! Well of course the stray coffee grounds would probably screw up the tank sprayer in a heartbeat. I casually toyed with the idea of getting more hose extensions and running the hose around the back, thru the door and into the bowl. Of course I don't know that the gray tank would create enough pressure to go uphill into the toilet and I would have to put the end of the sewer solution hose down the trap of the toilet and SECURE it because opening the gray water gate then running into the trailer isn't a good idea.
I settled of getting a LID for the pail and only filling it half way. Sometimes our brilliant McGuyverisms sound more like Wiley Cayoteisms when reviewed in the cool light of dawn.
