Well, I really love my moho but I have finally reached the end of the line on this really awful tank level indicator system we have in the newer coaches. You all know which ones I mean - the ones that have the sensors on the outside of the tanks - yea - those.
The day before yesterday the gray tank suddenly indicated from it's normal 1/3 full to 2/3 full and we had done nothing but drive down the highway. I was really perplexed as to where the additional water came from in the gray tank. Then overnight it went from 2/3 full to full while we were asleep. I was really concerned then about who had been in the coach washing dishes or taking a shower while we were asleep.
DW and I have long asserted that there is someone else living in the coach doing the things that neither one of us do. You know - leaving the light on or putting something where it does not belong - yea we all have that extra person living in our homes and mohos with us but most of us do not have a name for the person.
Today I took all the panels off in the utilities bay to have access to the tanks and all I had to do was move the wires on the sensors around. Suddenly we are back to 1/3 full on the gray tank and I had just emptied it just in case there was someone else taking a shower that we did not know about.
Yes, I know about the system that has been discussed at lenght here but unless I decide to keep this coach I am not going to spend the money for it. If I do decide to keep it then it will be the first thing I do.
GRRRRRRRRRRR
Thanks for letting me blow off some steam

My external sensors work perfectly.

I thought it was sort of funny that Winnie sells the Sensa Tank (or some name like that) aftermarket product in the parts/acessories area of the service office here in Forest City.
The 1/3 2/3 thing is absolutely driving me bonkers - the system works okay 99% of the time but I need more resolution on how full (or empty) the tanks are.

John,
Take a look at this thread. Sea Level
I may install this system. From reading this thread several times I really like it.

Hi Adrian,
Remote readout water meters, you can't get more accurate!

Pardon my ignorance please but what is that? Who makes it and how does it work?

Hi Adrian,
That is a picture of the two water meters that I installed in our water compartment. This link has most of the detail on its operation.
http://irv2.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/248609445...061099112#9061099112
I'll be glad to furnish any additional information.
