If you need to know exactly, install a load cell, fill the tank to 90% with water to tell when "full" is, then monitor the load cell.

Is it considered really gauche to look down the chute with a flashlight?
You don't have to believe everything you think.

Nasty. Of course I've had to deal with piles of my own family's slop when removing the black tank or cleaning it....I have stories. Crappy job.

We had 100 gallon stainless water and sewage tank. Always filled the water tank and ran off of the 12v pump. When we ran out of water it was time to dump.  ;D  Usually we could go for about a week or so on a tank so i just would dump about every 5-6 days so that i never had to worry about running out of water while taking a shower.
Used to own a 1968 MCI 5A and a 1977 5C.

This is why I think translucent poly tanks are the best option....I can't imagine having stainless tanks and never knowing.

Yup, me too.   My poo tank is in full view when I open the access door, so there's no need for any high-tech gizmos to tell me if it's full  -  I just look at it!

The coach owners son was a metal fabricator , so all 3 tanks were custom built stainless, I would never want to change out for the convenience of tank monitors. Emptying more often is a small price to pay for the quality tanks

Honestly, the thick poly 150 gallon tanks I use will last every bit as long as a stainless tank...and mine are lighter, and the tank levels can be clearly seen when I turn my super bright LED luggage bay lights on...
