Gray and Black Water Tank

I have a 65 Globetrotter. After finishing the plumbing system about 90% I am looking for the gray and/or black water tanks. I see the one sewere type drain under the back of the trailer, but does anyone know if this trailer has a gray water tank or not? I thought I remembered reading that some of the older trailers didn't have them and was checking to see if ours did or not. Thanks!

You do not have a gray water tank, only a black

Grey tanks were not installed until the mid 70's.

My '64 Safari has a combination black and grey tank (one tank total) that holds a whole 8 gallons! Needless to say, the renovation/remodel will include separate grey and black tanks (two tanks total!), and they will be larger than 8 gallons total.

1974 to be exact (though the Excella 500 had one in 1973).

Here are some links to our gray tank installation in our 62 22' Flying Cloud. We removed the black tank which was under the toilet and replaced it with a composting toilet. No more black tank!
