Can't speak to details on a 2005 however ours has a crank for the slideout which is accessed through a hatch on the back of the camper. There is no strap or lock for it.
We shut our fridge down once parked. Does your fridge switch sources automatically? If so, probably best to shut it down as you could drain your batteries if the AC were to fail. You want to shut off the propane as a safety measure. The fridge should have a fairly long life. Be sure to open the exterior back panel and keep that are dirt and bug free.
Only the toilet goes in the black tank. You may have some tp or something else fouling the sensors if you continue to get a reading after draining. Ours came a equipped with an internal rinse system which works great. Be sure you keep the valves closed as the tanks share the same drain line.
Saw the tag on the back hatch there but didnt see a crank. Maybe it's missing. Will need to do some searchin for it.
Unfortunately I had about 2 hrs to learn myslef about the camper including loading it on the truck before headin north, so still some things I'm unfamiliar with.
Tank level sensor(s) read empty when empty. If just the toilet goes in the black tank (makes sense) then maybe the sensor just got covered on this trip. Not sure if it is reading empty now or not.
Live in Eagle River.
My crank was stored in the flip up storage built into the dinette step. I think your model has the same setup. Might look there
