Most RVs come with gauges that show some hint of how full the tanks are. Typically these are quite imprecise--fullish, 2/3 ish, 1/3 ish, and emptyish. The fresh water tank gauge usually works pretty reliably. The black water gauge is often prone to showing too high of a level due to the level sensors getting junk on them. The gray water gauge is somewhere in between in terms of reliability, but probably more on the reliable side than the unreliable side.
At any rate, while many old-timers here don't lend much credence to these gauges, they can be rather handy for figuring out your first few fills and dumps. On many RVs, too, it's a straight shot down from the toilet to the black tank, and you can scrutinize the level to some degree by peering down the toilet with a flashlight.
How frequent you'll need to do these things depends on how much water you use, which can vary a good bit from person to person. Showering and dishwashing are the biggest water consumers, typically.
