Recommended Sensor System For Determining Water Tank Levels

Updated 05/12/2023 | Published 05/11/2023

Question:

Looking for a meter to tell how much water we have consumed in our RV. We are dry camping and need to conserve the water in our fresh tank. The sensors in the RV are simply 3 lights. I would love to have something that shows gallons consumed, that we would reset each time the tank is filled

While we don't carry any sensor system that would be able to communicate how many gallons are in your tank/how many were used we do offer the SeeLeveL RV Holding Tank Monitoring System # SE39VR, which has eight sensors for a more accurate reading. These sensors have a double-sided tape backing that will allow you to stick them straight onto the water tanks for an easy installation.

Depending on the size of the tank you can add on more sensor strips or cut off sensors to make it fit. You'll want to keep in mind that each sensor you cut off reduces the sensitivity and will give you less accurate of a reading. I've attached a short video below where I installed this system on a trailer with a standard 3-sensor system to give you a better idea of how this works.
