For most of us knowing how full the black tank is as easy as flushing the toilet and looking down while doing so, if you happen to not have a straight drop from toilet to tank this method is obviously not too effective. Best to leave exhaust fan off.
In over the decade of heavy use we never had the gray tank read anything other than empty after being dumped, nothing magical we just don't throw any food or other debris down the drains, just soapy and/or rinse water.
There are sensor cleaners for both gray and black tanks available at most RV supply stores, Walmart, and of course good ole Camping World. Some have developed their own concoctions for aiding with sensor accuracy.
We keep it simple and just use lots of water when using commode, we make sure tank is full (add water if needed) before dumping. We have a black tank flush which doesn't help much, but a quick rinse with tank wand and sensors work as intended.
