M.S., that's just about the same as I did awhile ago after draining tanks. I just dumped tanks and then closed all valves, opened the faucet in the bathroom and then sat down on the step and kept pushing the gauge buttons until one of them showed 1/3 full. I then went out and pulled the indicated dump valve and, sure enough, I got about a third of a tank of clear water. Ours drains into the gray tank. That's good because when we have no sewer hookup I can set up the two gray tanks to share capacity but I was worried about filling that black tank with water from the sink plus the usual contents too quickly.

By the way, our washer drains direct to the dump valve. It does not go into any tank. We can see the drain pipe under the rig where it is plumbed into the dump pipe.

Yes, Army Guy, I know what you mean. I used to preach that same thing to my staff.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
