I would say mid tank...lol.

Mine are not made like that one so I really don't know the exact spot for it.

I felt around up on the side of the grey tank and found the top sensor. There was just enough room below that one and the mounting bracket to locate this mid sensor by feel. I hope that's the right place.

I have the 390RB, found the same sensor hanging. Did some research & found out those sensors go on the black water tank. They come from the rear toilet on the displace panel. It's lets you know when the black water tank is half full, light turns yellow. Full turns red!! Mine works great now that it's on the right tank! lol

Now that is some good info. I knew that my rear toilet was affected by how full the gray tank was instead of the black. And it makes sense now why there is only two of those sensors. Thanks bud.

Rear tire? Did spell check get you? I believe you meant rear toilet right? My RB is the same in that the macerator will actually not work at a certain fill point. Not a bad idea I guess unless you have sensor problems (like most of us do at one point or another). -Glenn

Yes Dan it looks like the idiots at the factory stuck them on the wrong tank ( grey water ) instead of the black water tank. I had to reroute the wires to make them long enough to reach black water tank. Works great now!!

I wasn't trying to catch you with anything Dan. Just making sure I wasn't missing something. I don't hang out here looking for typos. -Glenn

Oh Glenn, I didn't think you were trying to catch anything. it really didn't make any sense with the wrong word in there

And what was missing from my post to you was a LOL

No worries.

No problem, just wanted to make sure you had the rear toilet issue much like I noted on my last trip out. We are currently experiencing some sensor issues even though I know the black tank is bone dry it was still reading half full. That causes the macerator toilet to not work as it should. I am wondering if my "extra" sensors for the macerator are also on the grey tank instead of the black tank.

I also changed my tank sensors to see level tank monitor system, they stick on the outside of the tank. I must say they work great!!!

Great something else to check on. I have to check my fresh water tank anti-siphon setup.
