Difference between two and three tanks?

Okay... yet another question. As I am pondering an older, smaller Avion, I have seen some older ones (like 1970) that have two tanks (clean and black water). These were made before 1972 when they started with the gray water tanks.

With that said... is this much of a hindrance? Does it really matter that much? I can guess that the extra tank could give me more capacity if I don't have full hook ups although not sure how much more of a detriment the two tanks would be. Thoughts?

Again, sorry for the delayed response.

The lack of a 3rd tank to catch the grey water is easily fixed with one of those portable tanks.

I would not let that stop you from purchasing an Avion of that vintage.

I agree with Razorback, but I am glad I have a separate grey tank. It is one less thing to deal with. That said, anytime we go some place for more than a week, I bring a portable tank just in case our black tank fills up. It’s not a huge hassle, but I’d rather not fool with bringing the extra tank unless we really need it.
