Many rigs have separate dump tanks, not just Jayco
In regard to the fact that some rigs have two separate dump tank areas, it's not really a function of "poor engineering", but rather the limitations (compromise) of what is possible on a chassis built by others (Ford), and in giving customers what they want. I have two friends who just bought their rigs, in one case a top-of-the-line 5th wheel and the other a 34' Coachman. Both have two bathrooms (my 31UL does not of course). And both of them have two separate black tanks that do not join together. That's just the way it is as "s**t has to roll downhill"! Now one could argue that with a macerator with such awesome pumping capability, a piping system could be designed to pump up-and-over the Ford chassis to get to a common flush point but then you'd have the macerator located too far up-the-line (and therefore it wouldn't get flushed out and "cleaned" when you drain the grey tank. Like everything else in our RV's, it's always a compromise. Personally I don't see the need for two toilets in such a small space, but then again I thought I needed three TV's, when all I ever seem to use is one! C'est la vie
