Fresh Water Gauge question

[azlee56]

where are the tanks in a montana? I would assume in the back, because of the manual saying water helps weight placement. (something to those words)

Thanks for all the ideas. I hope to get some time to look at some of the various things this weekend. Would love take it to the dealer to have them deal with it but getting it there is a bit of a pain so I'll see if I can diagnose it first.

Shouldn’t the fresh water tank be very near its drain?

duhhh. lol Ok for sure my fresh water is in the back. Now to figure out where the other tanks are.

Black water tank is most likely below the toilet. Shine a flashlight down the toilet when the flush pedal is pushed. You should be able to see straight into the tank. I’m betting the grey tank is very close to the black tank.

So I guess in a way I'm lucky. We have our own water well and it has a water softener on it that can be set to show water used in gallons. When we get ready for a trip I usually fill the fresh tank with 5 gallons so the head can be used while on the road. I have used the softener gauge to verify that my fresh tank holds 60 gallons of water. The point of my original post (even if my fresh tank only held 55 gallons of water) is that there is a lot of water between being 1/3 full and 2/3 full whether that's 20 gallons or 17.5. I've also just for fun filled the gray tanks to see if they were capable of their stated capacity. And they are. Had an issue with an Aerolite that ultimately led to Dutchman installing the correct size tank. New gauge system is still on the project list for this year.
