Water sensors / gauges

[Bart]

so in any previous motorhomes ive had the water tank gauges have been very poor especially the waste water tank level sensors.
So in this self build i am thinking on using these float type sensors / gauges. and just wondered if anyone had any experience of these ,, are they good , are the crap ?
thanks

I have used them a couple of times on modified car builds with alloy fuel tanks and they work okay.

If your self build is a PVC then you are likely to fit underslung tanks so accessing this type of sender will need dropping the tank if it fails or a method of accessing from inside your van.

If you are fitting underslung tanks the Mopeka bluetooth bottom mounted sensors may be a better option.

Yes, Mopeka.

Thank you, I had a full conversation with another funster who has these, yet I couldn't remember the name of the product.

Not me, but I'm using them on our MH.

I took a tap off the underslung water tank to an external clear plastic tube - result, I know exactly what amount of water I'm carrying
