    Black and grey tanks showing 2/3 full when they're empty

    Hello! Thanks in advance for help and suggestions. My 2000 Lance 835 grey and black tanks are showing 2/3 full when they're empty. Yes, they are empty. Someone mentioned a float, but the tanks are separate so I think that is unlikely. Thanks, Amy

    Converting/removing black and grey water tanks

    Sitting here with a very sore back, a thought crossed my mind. I love my 40cck but going hands and knees to drain the tanks is a pain. Has anyone removed/modified the grey & black tanks and and figured out a free draining system? One last thing to irritate my glass spine.
