On my 16 BHS the tank monitor does not have a switch to turn off? You just press the buttons to see status. Also I have left my antenna amplifier on-that helps to drain the battery also. (left it on a week and completely drained my battery-lucky it recharged)

I finally installed a disconnect on the battery box and don't have any battery drain issues.

The only issues I have had so far with 2017 Wolfpup 16BHS is the Black Tank monitor. Shows 1/2 full after only a 3 gallons. Im going to test exact amounts soon enough.

look under the trailer at the rear of the black tank and see where the three sensor contact screws are screwed into the tank. Mine are located about about 1/3 level 1/2 level and 2/3 level. I plan on moving them further apart height wise to more accurately show the tank condition.

I haven't looked yet... if you move them, what do you fill the whole with? I guess half and "full" are most important.

Black tank and even grey tank monitors can be very inaccurate. They are basically screws that with the head sticking into the tank. When there is moisture between any level sensor and the ground, it lights the LED. The problem is that any contaminant that holds moisture between the sensors will activate the LED. After some time you will be able to determine if the indicators are correct or not. There are several after market sensors, but there is no foolproof sensor yet. Best bet is to use the good judgement method.

I was thinking of testing it when I feel like wasting some time. Fill a five gallon water bottle and keep dumping down the toilet to see at what point those leds fire.
