Black tank capacity?

Tiffany

Quick question for those in a T@b S: I've heard that the black tank capacity is 6 gallons, but on the nucamp website (http://tab.nucamprv.com/tab-320-s-floor-plan/) it says 8 gallons. Did I hear 6 gallons wrong, and it's always been 8? Or is this an update for the newer models? Thanks!

This obviously is an update to the newer T@B units as my 2015 has a 6-gallon capacity.

The 2017 T@B's are supposed to have a 8.75 capacity in the black tank according to Ed last year at Tearstock.

Hmm... I was supposed to check mine.  I have a 2017 and was told that it was 6 gallon by the dealer.  The dealer was wrong on many other things, though.  I have camper chores planned for today so maybe I will test it and report back.

Yes, @ColoradoJon, please check so we have the actual scoop. 8 or 8.75 gallons is better than 5 gallons!

Just finished checking.  I was able to fit 8 gallons in the tank, which was up to the top of the tank, just a touch below the pipe opening.  There was about 6" of pipe space available from the top of the water to the toilet valve.  I suppose another 3/4 gallon would have fit but it would be a messy affair if it was run that high.  Even at 8 gallons I'm not sure I would want to run it that full

SeeLevel readings:
@ 2 gallons:  33%
@ 4 gallons:  54%
@ 6 gallons:  88%
@ 8 gallons:  100%

I ordered my trailer end of May, 2016, picked it up end of July, 2016, so it is a early, very early 2017 model.

@ColoradoJon, You must have drank a LOT of coffee ( ok, we'll go with coffee ) for that test! Thanks for the test results. Agree with the 8 gallons and not wanting to go any more though, especially if you have to drive a ways to get to a dump station, and it sloshing around.

Verna

Thank you, @ColoradoJon!  8 gallon black tank capacity for the 2017 models. 

ColoradoJon

Sure thing!  Yeah, coffee, something like that

@ColoradoJon, Good one, glad I was in between drinks of mine!

That's great, thanks everyone! @ColoradoJon thanks for checking!!
