Bill Hines Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 My tank monitoring panel is in bad shape and I’ve tried to find a replacement but no luck. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix or replace? Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonbrooks Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Does it all function and you just don't care for the wear it shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Is it not working at all? What specifically is the problem with the panel? Mine still works but it doesn't look pretty! Edited May 4, 2021 by Dr4Film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hines Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Battery, fresh water, and grey sort of work. Others are not. Switches work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 In that case, I would suggest you replace the panel with a SeeLevel System which you can use some of the same wires. No need to run new wires. You would also need to install new sensors on the outside of the fresh water, grey water and black water tanks. SeeLevel is a far better and more accurate tank level system.

KevinH Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I agree with sea level I replaced mine two years ago works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grampy OG Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I recently replaced a similar panel with the SeeLevel system and I am still kicking myself for not doing it years ago as Bruce Crocker implored me. As I said mine was similar and I did need to surgically remove the existing panel from the large panel that it was mounted in ( similar to yours) using a Dremel cutoff wheel. That took me the longest (about 15 minutes). Existing wiring system was used. The whole system just works great reporting percentage of liquids in the tank. The sensors mounted very easily and quickly to the outside of the tanks. My new sensors did have a bit of exposure to possible road dirt so I followed the suggestion to coat the sensors with spray undercoating ($4.00). I was very happy with the install and the operation so I went ahead and ordered and installed a 2nd panel in the wet bay to make it easy to check tank progress from outside. I am actually contemplating installing a 3rd panel in my bathroom because adding the remote panels is super easy once you have your main wiring complete. The remote panels are not wireless so you do need to have an easy way to pull the extra wires. I used standard bell wire.

Bill Hines Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Thanks everyone. I’m going with SeeLevel. I see some have 2 monitors, one inside coach and one in bay. Need to know the levels or the alternative is bad news. Edited May 5, 2021 by Bill Hines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hines Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 What size strips for grey, black and fresh? I can’t wait to have accurate tank measurements. My Dynasty Tanks: Grey 60gals Black 40gals Fresh 100gals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyKingII Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Bill, For what it's worth I replaced the poorly performing original gauges with same system as Ken showed pic's of in his Executive .I have had them for probably 10 years;I could not be happier.You'll be very pleased with the quality and performance of these'I also put one in wet bay also,comes in very handy when you want to just check levels and don't have to enter coach to see levels. With out a doubt some of the best money I have spent on this coach...wish I had them for my previous two RV's! Never any more surprises when you need to use the facilities just to be reminded you have to go out and dump a particular tank first.Let alone the freedom it gives you if you dry-camp and have to depend on those never accurate original gauges,ya don't jump from 1/3rd full to 3/4 with one flush! Give yourself an early fathers day present and order the one for the Wet-Bay also...you will never regret the addittional convience it affords you(best hundred bucks you'll spend for yourself) I love these gauges could not imagine traveling without them. Hope this helps,enjoy&safe travels! Bruce Crocker 2004 Diplomat 40'PDQ Bill'I neglected to mention my gauuge also has a pump switch and propane also,again with excellent accuracy for propane.Cheap way of updating these two functions if interested.

Where did you mount the sensors, and did you use the original wiring, or run your own? I have my gauges in hand and will be installing them in the next couple of weeks, and planning for that… Thanks, Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
