I read a post here recently regarding transfering gray water to the black tank. Do a search and this might help.

This is what I do too.

Why tow a bathroom and not use it? At least you know how clean it is. We do not use the CG facilities. I have an 11 gallon rolling tote and it fits our needs well. A bigger one when full would be too much work to tow by hand. Our rig has two 40 gal gray tanks one bath and one kitchen so we are not strapped to dump very often.

There is one couple on the forum that had a pretty nifty set up where they had a manually switched pump they installed to pump gray into the black when needed. They emailed me the specs on it for a friend of mine, I'll see if I can find it.
Me....all I have to do is take a shower....that drain goes into my black tank.  :

We do our dishes in a plastic basin and dump the water down the toilet when we don't have a sewer connection. That will help some since the black tank always fills up slower than the grey.

You've got a few choices:
First - use less water (wet down, turn off shower, lather up, rinse off) or use the campground's showers. Do dishes once a day and maybe use a dishpan and empty in the woods or shower house vs. filling your tank.
Or you can get a tote for your greywater and empty your holding tank frequently.
There are 5 gallon water totes you could use, or buckets - whatever would work best for you.

Bite the bullet and by a external tank. Otherwise you will become lazy and like other lazy and cheap people you will just open the tank and let it drain out gross.

Check under your unit. You might be able to put it between the frame rails.
