Kitchen sink drain to grey or black tanK?
I looked online and have found conflicting info.

I am parked at my house. I have plenty of water and was using the kitchen sink pretty freely with the idea that I could irrigate the yard with the grey water (as I did during the drought a few years ago, though with water from my house).

I have barely used the toilet. Twice, to be precise.  Though I did flush a bit of water after adding enzyme stuff, as I was told it needs a good amount of water when adding.

My sewage tank now reads 1/3 full. My grey water nearly empty.  Is the kitchen sink draining into the sewage tank?  If so, I'll need to stop using the kitchen sink so freely because I don't want to have to unhook everything to go to a dump station before I'm ready to shove off from my property for good.

If it is going to the sewage tank, why? Aren't the sinks supposed to go to grey water? 

This kind of stinks!

Lisa, according to the LD spec sheet, the 1991 22' multi-plan has a 24-gallon black tank and a 24-gallon grey tank. The crude tank sensors rarely read correctly, but you may want to give both tanks a very thorough flushing and cleaning to potentially increase the accuracy of the readings.

The Factory plumbed the sinks and the shower to drain into the gray tank only.
The LED level indicators are notorious for misreadings.

Lisa, some other brands (SOBs) do plumb the sinks to the black tank (because it is closer). 

As other said your indicators are likely wrong.  We had great success in our 30 year old rig with Sensor Power Tank Gauge Cleaner when we first got it.  However,  we didn't get as good of results our second use.

The SeeLevel sensors are the ones people talk about being the best to determine tank levels Amazon - seelevel tank level detectors.
