Black Tank Capacity?

I have a used Trail Bay 27DS, 2007 model. I can only put 20 gallons in the black tank before it is full. I thought the black, gray and fresh tanks were all 40 gallons.

Am I incorrect or is my trailer somehow different than some brochures I found.

If it really is 20 gallons, how easy is it to put in a 40 gal tank?

    Call Trail Bay and ask for customer support then ask them.
  • Specs listed show 40 gallons for all tanks


    How did you determine you can only put 20 gallons in before black tank is FULL?
    Surely NOT by 'level monitor/gauge'
