Wanna solve a mystery?
I bought a 2004 Montana model 2980RL.
During the purchase, the dealer showed me where to dump my tanks and the tank gauges. When I asked him why my gauge had a "galley" readout on it (in addition to fresh, grey, and black), he said that most of them have that "slot" even though they don't have an extra grey tank for the galley. I thought that was odd given that if I spent $50K for a new trailer, I'd expect the gauges to be accurate and not have gauges for things I don't need. Anyway, after they did their tests for me, I asked them to make sure the tanks were empty to reduce weight during travel.
I get home with the trailer and notice that the fresh water tank wasn't drained. I decided to turn on the sink faucet to drain it and, after a while, the sink stopped accepting more water. I IMMEDIATELY looked at the gauge and sure enough, the "galley" gauge that wasn't supposed to be measuring anything showed "full".
The problem is that I have 2 valves, 1 for black and 1 for grey. They are noted on the picture with yellow lines in approximately the area where they are under the trailer.
The thick red line is the 4" pipe that leads out to the sewer.
I noticed a 2" pipe that ties into the 4" pipe. THis pipe heads towards the back of the trailer and turns to go towards the galley and disappears up into the sealed underbelly. There is NO valve along this line visible from outside. This line ties into the 4" line right at the connection to the hose that you would attach to the sewer.
All things point to me having a second grey tank but I can't figure out where the valve to drain it is or might be located. HELP!!!
