Fresh water holding tank

I have a 2012 Coachmen Mirada. If I put water into the fresh water holding tank, how will I know when it is full? Is there an over flow that will let me know when the tank is full? Thanks.

Method 1: Gauge

Method 2: Hear the water hitting the ground from the overflow (yup, there is one)

Method 3: Step in the puddle

Method 4: Park manager knocking on your door telling you he/she turned your water off because you were flooding the CG.

Method 5: Water meter.

Method 6: Timed fill.

I usually get the DW to monitor our fresh water gauge. It isn't perfect but close enough. I normally only half fill it anyway as water is heavy. The only time I completely fill it is when we are boondocking.

My tank is under the kitchen cabinet I open the door and the cabinet door and check it since I can see my tank there.
Don't know if this helps or you can see your tank but hope it helps.

29DS 2013 Mirada, If you overfill the fresh water tank, it will overflow and drain on the other side of the coach. And here is what is weird, the overflow line apparently goes all the way into the bottom of the tank and will siphon it empty! You can open a faucet and break the siphon action.
