Rain Water in Black Water Tank???

Again, I thank you all for your input and I think I've figured out the problem. I'M AN IDIOT! I went over last night and put the fuse for the monitoring panel in and it was only reading 1/3 full. I then got a stick and stuck it down the hole. To my surprise I hit a bottom about 7-8" in. I grabbed a flashlight and went outside, laid down and looked at the holding tank. I was able to get my hand in between the frame and the side of the tank and to my surprise it's only about 7-8" deep! While outside I did notice that the camper isn't quite level so I adjusted my scissor jacks and the water is no longer visible in the tank. I believe that the last time it was drained the previous owner may not have gotten everything out of it and since it was not level the little bit of water in the tank had all run to one side making it appear more full than it actually was. I sincerely hope that this being my first post I am not on a fast track to becoming the "boy who cried wolf!" Thank you all and I wish you a Happy New Year! Stay tuned for my next brain fart...

I had a similar issue I posted about a while ago. In the long run I found that my black tank was completely empty and for some reason it "appeared" full and I thought I had a clog. I did the same same thing as you and stuck a piece of pvc pipe into the toilet and hit bottom with no water line on the pvc. This told me the tank was empty. I fretted over this for a week after coming home from the lake because I couldn't devote much time to it until the following Saturday. I felt like a fool when it was all over. Live and learn.
