How to guess waste tank levels without monitor

[jagwire64]

Hello all,

Just brought home a 2013 CL 16 DB upgraded from a Quicksilver 8.1.

The Camplite doesn't have a waste tank monitoring system.  How do you know when the tanks are full?

Thanks

Welcome!

Interesting. No monitors at all?  According to specs, you've got a 20 gallons fresh water tank  a 32 gallon grey water tank and 14 gallon black water tank.

Some of have installed the SeeLevel system. It's not difficult if you don't mind running low voltage wires to each tank. I really like it.

When we had our 16TBS we became aware of tank capacity and filled or dumped accordingly. We could go 3 days on 30 or so gallons of fresh water, but you will probably only be able to do two days with 20 gallons. Black water was never a problem. Grey is closely related to fresh water so with 32 gallons of grey you could go 50% longer than your fresh water allows.

We had a 5 gallon collapsible water jug that we would use to add ten gallons to make it through another day.

Nope...no monitors at all.  One less thing to fail I guess. Maybe I will add a system...installation can't be that difficult. The SeeLevel looks good...Made in Canada.

Will have to keep an eye on levels as suggested.

Thanks all.
