Any gauges in the T@BSMaxx to show tank status?

Is there a way to know when gray water and black water tanks are approaching full?
Does T@BSMaxx drain shower water into gray or black tank? (It appears to drain into black water tank, but I sure would prefer to have shower water go gray.

    The only way to be able to tell the level is if it overflows. No, I'm not trying to be a smart Alec, that 's the only way. You can sort of gauge how much water goes into the gray tank to figure out how full it is. 

    Shower drains  into the gray tank. If you look under the T@B, the small black water tank (5 gallon on 2104/15) is directly below the toilet with only one pipe going to it from the toilet, and another to the outlet. The gray water tank is the larger of the three (19 gallons on the 2014/15), and the kitchen sink and shower goes to it. The fresh water tank (11 gallon on 2014/15) is an opaque color on mine. It has an inlet from the driver's side, a drain plug ( it depends on which year as to where it is), and ....I haven't traced the pipes going to the cold water pipes or to the Alde for hot hot water.

    AnneLark- unfortunately this is how you tell if your overfull.

    Grey tank fluid backs into shower floor.

    Black tank fluid (or solid...yuk!) backs up to the toilet.

    Talked to Ed at the factory this week, he said that they are going to have a level control panel in the future (2017 models ??) that will show tank levels, battery condition, etc.

    Any possibility of a retro-fit?

    Anne, that would be a question for the factory, Pleasant Valley.  Their telephone number is located on the right under contact numbers.
