I just drained the grey water nice clear soapy water but gauge still says half and now black water still reads 2/3rds very weird

My rig behaves like this....all the time. I have yet to win this battle. :-/

Francesca, the toilet can't distinguish one from the other. It all goes into the black tank. Your shower and sinks, and clothes washer if you had one, go into the grey tank.

I'd have trouble with the clipboard solution. On one recent trip, I had my wife and three grand-girls. Women/girls use far more toilet tissue than men/boys, and I should have seen it coming: I had one heck of a time getting that mass of paper out of the system. Not trying to be sexist here, it just seems to be that way. I make a point of flushing the toilet extra times just to get more water into the tank when there are extra females around, but this time I just didn't get the "mix" right.

I was actually joking about the clipboard but the sensors are basically useless. Up to a week, we don't even pay much attention. If it's more than a week, we are typically moving and dump when we move (assuming we don't have a spot with a sewer hookup).

don't most f'vers bathroom sink drain into the black tank, mine does so extra water at bathromm sink is as easy for us as flushing extra.

Mine has 3 tanks, one black water, one bathroom grey for the bathroom sink, clothes washer and shower, and one for the kitchen sink

The gray and black are two separate tanks with two separate sensors. I have no explanation as to why they read the way they do except to agree with what has already been said. :)

Guys am I correct to assume that black and grey water are two separate tanks and two separate sensors ? I filled the grey water tank full with dawn and softener and was going to let it soak a few days that was about two hours ago I just went out to the unit and check the gauges again and grey still reads full but now black that was empty now reads half to 2/3 rds ??

Any ideas ?

A the end of our trips I generally will fill the black tank by holding the toilet valve open and watch/listen so to get that extra volume of water to flush it all out

A far more accurate system:

A clipboard next to the throne where you put a check next to #1 or #2. Once you figure the number of checks...

:h

I almost hate to ask, but:

Does one or t'other go in the GRAY tank??????
