2000 Adventurer tank Level Sensor replacements?

Recently purchased and none of the tank levels are working accurately if at all.
Being over 20yrs old, are there upgrade kits available to swap out sensors?

Also, the Lp tank level does not seem to be accurate either?

Our OEM tank level sensors get corroded, which results in what you see.
When you remove the level lights panel you should see adjustable pots to compensate for OEM corroded sensors through the tank wall.
There are more recent aftermarket tank sensors that stick on the exterior of the tanks. Supposedly they are much more accurate.

My favorite aftermarket sensor system is SeeLevel. There are others out there. How far off is your LP tank level reading? For some tanks you can adjust the dial/sending unit on the tank. Remember you will only show 80% on the dial when the tank is full to the legal limit. The internal readout should have been calibrated to show full at 80% of tank capacity.

I don't worry about tank levels anymore. After more than 10 years with inaccurate tank level readings, I know I can usually go 3-5 days before the tanks need to be dumped. Since we spen 95% of the time at full hookup sites, this isn't a problem. When not in full hookup, water conservation works to prevent full tanks.
