Camper water tank level indicator

Hiya Dave
you could make one by using a T in the filler hose and run a length of clear plastic hose up the side of the van .only needs to vert small diameter stuff and pit a cap on top with a very small hole for breather or some mongrel could p*ss in it, I check my tank for level with 2m piece of garden hose , just hold the end up and when water flows over the top , thats the level

Hi Dave,
Have a look here.

from Marty.

Of course Dave there is always the other reliable gauge of when water stops running YOUR ON EMPTY

I have a blue oval one in my Aussie Swag Camper trailer. Seems to work well.

Hi Geocacher,

I have 2 fitted in my troopy and work well as:
1. my tanks are black, impossible to see a level
2. built in beneath the false floor of the troopy, hard to see level in filler hoses.

Easy to fit when the tank is empty but still in place with long wires to the display gauge by the back doors. Expensive (about $60-70 each) but very good, I was never able to estimate to water left with any accuracy before and would run out on long trips but it is far more managable now.

They are easy to fit and come with full instructions.
Mine installed in the van has worked well for 5yrs and 60,000ks.

Mine is in and working well.

The burgundy with gold trim looks out of place in our camper but I couldn't wait for one in blue and white to come and the local bloke had one in stock.

What a great device. Simple electronics but the probe really is quite clever.
