Question: do you have to have a separate drain hose for the gray water tank, or do you just use the same hose you use to drain the black water tank?
I recommend an inline filter for the water line that removes minerals, etc. It will increase the life of your water heater among other benefits.
My black and grey water tanks are hooked to the same outlet for drainage, so I obviously use the same hose.

If you have separate outlets I suggest two hoses with a splice to one end on the sanitary drop.
Yeah, my trailer has separate outlets. The guy who was training us on Friday when we picked up the trailer gave the same advice as yours about using a spliced hose, but when I looked for such a thing at Walmart, they didn't have one. That's why I bought just the one drain hose. If there is such a coupling to be found that would connect two hoses into a common drain hose, I'd gladly buy it if you can point me to it.
Check with Camping World or some similar RV supply house. They have parts you can't even start to find at WM.

Of course unless you catch things on sale they cost more there. But there are some things that only they carry.

Ask the dealer where you bought your RV where to find such things locally. It is easy to find them online.
