How is black water tank and plumbing put together?

Tried to get schematics for the black water and  plumbing from FT. Per James Triana, there isn't any.  As you have remodeled and upgraded valves and wet bay, were there any similarities between the various coach layouts?
My favorite rv tech and I are going to tackle a questionable grey water bypass valve, which is electric. Hate them. Have been trouble from the start.  May even see if we can change out the black water valve too. Plus we hope to discover extra space for the drainmaster hose. It always gets crimped when the bay door is closed. So any thought or pictures may be very helpful and gratefully appreciated.

Not sure if this will help but this is the way my 2001 was done.
In the picture you have "Former tank level sensor" indicated. Is it "former" because you installed another kind? I think my black tank sensor is acting up, sometimes it is on some times it is not. I was thinking to get a new sensor.
Thank you,

Well, I took them out and replaced them with plugs.  The sensors didn't work well likely because of being plugged with stuff.  The fresh water sensor seemed to work. I still have it if you want to try it.

I replaced the Javelina sensors and system with a SeeLevel system.  We like it, have it now for about 8 years.

Our 2000 is exactly the same!  Lynn, I would just open it up and take a look.  It isn't rocket science!

Same here. The fresh water sensor is always good. I like See Level system too, maybe I'll do that ... some day :-)
