Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of re-plumbing the pump to use the drain on the bottom. It's going to take a trip or two to the RV parts store. I am fortunate to have one that lets me go into the parts bins and "put together" what I need.
I just to reiterate. I am not doubting the accuracy of the monitors. I know they are "relative indicators" at best. ***I was not out of water****. I had approximately 25% of my water left in the tank when the pump stopped. The design is ridiculous. I have had MANY RVs and this is the first one that withheld THIS much water. I can see a gallon or two....Of course you can't get ALL of it out. But TEN+ GALLONS !!!!!!! No way. Crappy design, and they should find a means of fixing it or at the very least revealing it. Not only should Keystone revise their specs to reveal a 30 gallon fresh tank, but they should also make it known that you will be carting an extra 80-90 lbs of useless cargo with you, decreasing your GCW capacity by 80 lbs.
My Sunnybrook, Lance and Colemans NEVER had this issue to this extreme.
