Very cold weather, toilet overflow, sink too
Hi, I'm about two years a full timer, and I'm stumped, which is something you can't be if you are on the road. I'm at the border/panhandle of Florida/Alabama. The weather has been in record lows, ...

Issue resolved. Thanks again for all the help. And thanks too for not letting me have it for not even saying what model I have--though the problem, and the suggested reasons and fixes, were spot on. I have a class C Minnie Winnie.
So, I bought a new toilet for nothing. My problem was the same one that causes me to lose when watching "Wheel of Fortune", assumptions about where things are coming from--or going. I assumed that grey water went to the grey tank, and black to black. A quick look told me that several of you were right, my bathroom sink drains straight into the black tank. Once I understood that, everything made sense. Also, the idea of keeping a better eye on the levels is, unfortunately, good advice for a RE active RVer like myself.
I need to check my sensors and make sure they are working correctly, maybe put on new ones.
Has anyone ever used the "sensor" cleaner they sell in the RV stores? I would rather try that than crawling around, but don't know if they will "clean" an encrusted sensor. I know they wont fix a bad one.
I'll use the FAQ and forum history from now on before I post. I did a search, but most overflows are valve failures--my original jump-the-gun response.
thanks, Hal
