I had a bath and 1/2 on my 2004 Georgetown with 2-black/2-grey, 4-handles and 2-outlets. Also 2-black tank flush connections. I actually found it was simpler and more efficient to use a single outlet connection at a time as invariably the distance from the dump connection to one of my outlets would require more than a single length of sewer hose. I didn't feel like carrying 3-lengths of sewer hose. And if you are only staying at locations for 3 to 4 nights per, there's no labor savings with the Y set-up. For longer stays, or snowbirding down South, that's different.

Yes, it is normal, but not common. The FLOORPLAN of the RV determines why they install extra tanks. Doug

There are many RVs with a bath & a 1/2 that only have two waste tanks and pump the waste from the second commode to the black tank. Read a lot about pump failures. You have the best set up.

For large RVs isn't not uncommon. The space between the floor and the frame is too short to run the pipe from the toilet/shower to a single tank and get a decent slope so it flows well.

Toilets in particular typically go straight down to the tank (or close to straight). This is to make sure the solids don't get hung up in the pipes.

Yes.

I have 4 tanks that all connect to one sewer hose connection. I have 4 pull handles.
