2013 PT Crusader Tank ?

Ok so inside bathroom I have my monitors and I see Battery, Black, Grey, Fresh, but I also have Galley?

Question is did they use a Galley Tank I don't see? Or is that just a Panel with an extra sensor for other models bc it only states I have a Fresh Tank 60 Gallons, Grey of 70 gal, and Black of 35?

Didn't think I missed something but one never knows?

my PT TRACER AIR has only one Gray tank but the monitor has a Galley button and a Gray button.

Only Black & Grey Dump Valves no others, mine is a 295RST Touring Edition

I think they just used one Panel in multiple trailers

We've got a Crusader 315RST. It has fresh water, black, grey and galley tanks. The OP says the literature says there is a 70 gallon grey tank. Sounds like there might be two 35 gallon tanks.

Galley Tank

I have a 2013 Crudader 290 that has a grey tank and a galley tank. The drain valve for the galley tank is located underneath the trailer and slightly behind the tire. Once you know where it is you can just reach under there and pull it.

Got it, you have to look under the belly of the beast about 8" to the right of the water dock just before the front left tire? I wonder why they do that, while camping I will just leave the grey tanks open, then flush them and close them when on the road. I guess they split the 70 gal grey into 2 separate 35 gal tanks.

Thanks all for confirming and helping me find them, at least now I know how to control it all and Galley is a valid sensor.

We have a 2012 270RET. On the side of the trailer there is a label showing where the second grey pull is located. Between sewer discharge and wheel. See photo

If you have an island kitchen sink, then that's what the other grey tank is used for. My Crusader has that and the kitchen sink dump valve is indeed in the same location as yours.

Yep, I traced the tanks seems there are 2 (35) gallon, one for kitchen sink and one for Bathroom sink/shower.

2 handles so I will just leave them open while camping so I don't have to monitor both.

2013 crusader 295rst, galley is your kitchen sink located under the rv, left side, near the front tire. I labeled mine I always was fishing for it. Grey is your shower and bathroom sink. Black is well, ya know, yuck.

You can also get a twist on valterra waste valve and leave both grey and galley open to equalize both tanks and make your available capacity 70 gallons. The grey will of course usually fill much faster than the galley if you are using showers etc.

One way but we usually leave the Grey open all the time and I flush it with valves closed before we leave CG. I always flush both tanks with clean water put Dawn down drains and let it sit in the tanks with water night before we depart helps keep sensors clean and tanks fresh. I always assumed it was one big 70 but having 2 35 gal is fine now that I know they are split. Learn something new all the time but wife and I have our routine that works for us, and generally don't have issues with the tanks but knowing there are two explains the two Labels in the bathroom Galley and Grey [emoji847][emoji848]

Anyone have a galley tank leak? I push the gray handle all the way in, but if you run the sink in the galley water comes out the waste pipe anyway? I am not sure how much work they are to fix seeing as though I have to open the belly up to see it but just thinking of getting that Valtera external Valve instead of Messi g with the galley grey handle?

You should have a separate galley valve handle underneath and about a 2 feet to the rear

Ugh so frustrating that the galley tank seems to let water sneak out even with the valves closed or pushed in. Has anyone tried to repair their Crusader galley valve are they hard to get to under the underbelly?
