I have a grey and black tank of unknown full-ness (I'm adding new sensors soon).

So I'm going to drive to this dump station and... is this the process?

1. Open Black, let it drain.
2. Open Grey, let it drain.
3. If there is water running, I'd fill up the black/grey tanks (with a hose?) and then drain them again?

Thanks, I appreciate the help for a newb!

You got it man!! A second fill up and dump in the same order is good advice, especially using there water. Also if you have a flush system on your black tank do that too!! You want to keep your tanks clean as possible. Many people put ice cubes in there tank before they go down the road to help knock debris off the sides. I installed a See-Level system to go along with the P.O.S. "No pun intended", tank monitor Thor uses. Accurate but does not read the entire tank since there is a large portion of the top and bottom of the tank that the sensor will not attach to, only the flat part of the tank, so it reads empty even when there's about 5 gallons or so in it and reads full even when we have 5 or more gallons of space left. Ask your local RV dealer what they recommend for your specific tanks?? Bob & Wendy Trice
