Between maintenance replacements and year-to-year and model-to-model variations, I wouldn't read anything into the size or colour of the handles. I have had three RV's and none have the handles differently coloured or sized.

Then with neither tank containing significant solids, it doesn't matter - no harm done, as long as bathroom tissue hasn't been left clogging the hose.

So, this is the only reliable method to determine which is which:

Unless you have the insulating foam under the trailer, the pipes are easy to see so it is easy to see which pipe (and valve, and so handle) is for which tank.

Brian the 3 different RV's we have owned - all grey handles were smaller then the black handle .We also look to see if that handle is attached to smaller pipe for the grey . The black handle always is attached to much larger pipe . That is how we could determine which one . Pat

One could always label the handles if there is difficulty in remembering which is which.
