I found a great diagram of the supply side (https://www.trailmanorowners.com/for...ad.php?t=21050), but looking under the cabinet it's hard to tell which is which.

I haven't yet found a schematic for the drain side. It sounds like there, I will need to do some research on how to use ABS glue and ABS shavings to re-seal to the gray tank, and then fill in with standard sewer drain parts.
I don't think that the sink has a "Vent out". That sink itself supplies all the air necessary for venting the drain. I could be wrong but it makes no sense.

The water supply "SharkBite T" is easiest installed in the water supply line going to the kitchen faucet cold water line, under the kitchen sink (where there is adequate room to work) then routed over the top of the water heater, through the bathroom cabinet and exiting next to the toilet. It's a straight shot.

The kitchen and bathroom sinks are both vented via a common vent to the lower wall, just above and to the left of the water heater (as viewed from under the sink). If you look from the OUTSIDE, you'll see the vent as a white louver a few inches in diameter next to the water heater exhaust.

Instead of rebuilding the standard double-gated drainage plumbing, I'm considering to simply leave the black and gray drain pipes separate. Any major reason why I should go with the standard?

As I'm seeing it... the standard setup is in the danger zone, behind the wheel. But simple drain pipes could stay higher and further from the tire. The only downside I see to separate pipes would be a yucky sewer pipe transfer. But I'm thinking I could (A) deal with a poopy pipe, (B) flush a few extra gallons, or (C) I'm getting a RhinoBlaster Pro, to flush the tanks and sewer hose with a garden hose.

Are you talking about separate pipes, each with its own gate? That should be OK. Separate pipes, one or both with no gate? Not such a good idea.

There was a year or two where TM did away with the combination plumbing and had separate hose attachment points for the toilet and gray tank. So yes, it can be done. Apparently some gubment agency was trying to make it so campers had to dump black in one hole and gray and another. The campgrounds all pretty much said no thanks.

Don’t want a poopy hose transfer? Get a couple short hoses and a Y-adapter. Then you can put the Rhino Blaster on the Y-adapter before the main hose to flush both small hoses and tanks without transferring anything.

Or you can rebuild as standard and get yourself a plumbing guard from the factory for ~$150 + shipping.
