Uh, what is my water tank capacities?

2000 Coachmen Santara 311SB class C. We are dry camping over a long weekend for the first time. I realized I don't know what my fresh, gray and black tank capacities are. I looked through the books and don't find any specifications.

    It's almost always on a printed sheet posted inside a cupboard door, either in the kitchen or washroom.
  • Flow meters are fairly inexpensive. It will give you a fair estimate of how much water is going into your (empty) FW tank.

    If you REALLY need to know the other tanks' capacities: Fill your CLEAN black and grey and when full empty them (repeatedly) into a 5-gallon bucket and do the math.
  • Turn on garden house and fill a five gallon bucket with water. Time it and see how long it takes. Then you can fill your fresh water and get a close guesstimate. Black and grey are easy to figure once you know fresh water capacity.jmho
