Or is your gas gauge off that much? First step I would do is crawl underneath and look at it and get some measurements in inches. Then go to some fish aquarium web site that has a calculator that you can put in your measurements of your tank and gives you how many fluid gallons.

No, not a blond moment.
Crawling underneath and looking at the tank is a very good idea. I've run out of gas in two Jeeps (one borrowed and one rented) where people had high centered the gas tanks on rocks and pushed the bottoms in. On both of them, the gas gauge worked down to about 1/3 of a tank and then the float arm was resting on the bottom of the tank. Maybe someone was bad at backing up and drove the MH over something hitting the tank. Stranger things have happened.
