I have an '09 Cyclone 4012. I can't seem to find the answer to this on the internet. My TH has 3 gray tanks--bath, kitchen, and Washer/Dryer. Well, ok, dryer doesn't need a tank, but you know what I mean.

Anyway, I'm wanting to find out the capacity of each of the 3 gray tanks---and not what is commonly listed everywhere I looked, which is the gray capacity total. I need to know what it is per tank.

There's a reason I need to know, but you all would laugh if I told ya what it was.

Heartland Owners Forum thread on this exact subject! There is a discussion, and it may be 2 45 gallon tanks.

Hmmm. interesting thread. I have 3 gray, the post only covers other rigs with 1 or 2 gray. I have a total of 4 separate waste tanks and 4 handles.

So I'm going to guess that based off the other thread, I the 2 for bath and kitchen are 45 each, and the third in the rear for the washer I would assume is also a 45 gal.

Anybody finds anything different let me know!

Are you sure you have a tank for the washer ? It may be just a drain pipe with a t-handle valve. This is how my Fuzion is plumbed.

I have a 3950 with 2 grays up front one is for the sinks, the other for the shower and then a black water tank. In the rear I have a gray for the 1/2 bath and washer/dryer, and a black for the half bath. Total of 5. I remember seeing the capacity somewhere when I bought it, but can't remember where.

you have 5? Bonus. And I thought 4 was a lot of tanks! I definitely have 4. 1 black, 3 gray. Just would really like to know how much they each hold.

Here's why I needed to know how much water I could hold.....



Tailgating party at the Kenny Chesney concert here in Seattle last weekend. Needed to fill the kiddy pool. Got it about 1/2 full by filling the gray Wa/Dryer tank with fresh water, and about 2/3rds of my fresh water tank.

Brought the BBQ, a pair of my JBL Stacks hooked to a 1,000 watt PA amp, and a 32" flat panel in the storage playing a live concert.

If you can't find the answer on the net you have three choices to choose from.
1) Call Heartland and ask them.
2) Get out your tape measure and measure the tank Length X Width X Height. Multiple these three numbers and divide the total by 12. This will give you the cubic feet of the tank. One cubic foot = 7.5 gallons of water. Since you are measuring the outside dimensions it will be off a little but get you close.
3) If you can't get to the tanks, you can measure how long a garden hose takes to fill up a 5 gallon bucket. Divide the minutes by 5 to give you the flow rate for 1 gallon of water. Now measure how long it takes to fill up the tank. Divide this number by your flow rate number to figure out how many gallons it is. This again will get you close enough for what you need.
