Where is the 2nd black tank valve?

I am the new owner of a 2014 Montana 305RL. The 'systems monitor' panel indicates 2 black and 2 grey tanks. However I can only find 3 valves - 2 grey and 1 black. Per the monitor one of the black tanks is full. How do I drain that?
Isn't there suppose to be 1 valve per tank?
Thanks

You only have 1 black tank on your model (1 toilet, 1 tank). Which "System Monitor" do you have? The In-Command system? If so you need to go into system settings and disable the second tank.

Label on it says KIB - not a computer 'monitor' - just a panel with switches/buttons that you can press to show how full tanks are and battery power ETC.

I have the same in my 2018. I'm not sure why there are 2 black tanks showing on that panel except that it's probably a panel used in multiple models.

That said, you have only one black tank so one of the level guages is moot.

You only have (1) black tank they use the same panel in more than one model of Montana. Some have a second bathroom in the back so it would need a second black tank.

the Sensor on the black tank is probably gunk up and show full even when empty. The sensors are notorious for not working right.
