There are three tanks: Freshwater, Grey, and Black. The freshwater tank is self-explanatory, as it is just the tank that contains all of the freshwaters that comes from the taps. The grey water tank contains the dirty water that comes from your kitchen sink and shower. The black water tank retains all of the wastewater from your toilets. But if your RV doesn't have a grey tank, then all of the used water goes to the black water tank.
