Have you measured your tanks?

Have you ever measured your waste tanks. Our trailer only has 42G of fresh water, yet has two 42G grey and a 42G black tank. When we run off tanks only, the 42G of fresh can fill all the other tanks to 2/3 full. That doesn't make sense. I know gauges aren't accurate. But my curiosity got the best of me. So I measured all three holding tanks. I filled them all with a graduated bucket, till they backed up to where I was filling them. They are all about 36 gallons, and actually, that includes the plumbing leading to them. So I have been shorted what I've paid for by about 20G or more. To my thinking, that is false advertising.

I'm going to write them, but I know they won't do anything. Have any others noticed this on your trailer?

We did the bucket test too when we realized the alarms (yes, audible alarms!) for the sensors made no sense. We had way more room when it said 2/3 full. When the sensors say full, we know sometime in the next 24 hours we need to empty. (I figured out how to shut off the annoying alarms too,)
