Where Is Level Sensor on Travel Supreme Mid Engine Rv

Topic: replace grey and blackness tank sensors ?
Posted By: melvonnar on 09/01/10 12:30pm I've tried all the communication on cleaning the sensors in my motorhome with limited success. I'm to the point of last resort, replaceing the sensors. I have a 1999 330 MBS coachman catalina.
I,ve checked the internet and there several different kinds of sensors, I;thou not sure which one to go. I don't want to accept to alter whatever wireing or anything, simply replace the sensors. Has anyone washed this? and what kind are direct replacements?
Posted By: Nomadac on 09/01/10 01:11pm I have a See LevelII Tank Monitor Organisation and information technology is more than authentic and no problems with sensors clogging. http://www.bestconverter.com/709-SeeLevel-Two-Tank-Monitor-System_p_181.html

Posted By: pigman1 on 09/01/10 01:17pm I did ii RV's with SeeLevel (http://www.rvgauge.com/rv.htm) gauges. They crave access to the tank with about 2-3" of clear space abroad from steel. The sensors stick to the exterior of the tanks and are EXTREMELY reliable. I did non have to run whatever wires, but I did have to fit the read out panel into my electronics surface area in place of the old idiot lights. Not a major job, but it takes a bit of care to make it await good and professional. The above site will give y'all the complete instructions and wiring requirements, so pick what will work for your rig and pocketbook.

Check out how your present rig is wired, at the sender and display end, and draw a wiring diagram for how you'll hook your new setup upwards earlier you disconnect, order or pull out whatsoever hardware. My planning phase took about a week, but I'1000 anal about this stuff (belt and suspenders) and you lot might be quicker. The install was so a breeze for me.

I was hoping to get exact replacements, and not take to do whatsoever rewiring. It does await like a skilful system and if I can't get exact replacements I'll go on these in heed.


Posted Past: RVSKIER on 09/01/10 01:36pm why carp? then the monitor dosen't work, look downward the toolet, when you see the brown sea it's fourth dimension to dump. for me i just dump after every camping trip.

good advice but it won't work for me; my tank is kickoff and past the time I see the%^&^%$# it'south as well late, and information technology'south time to get out the make clean out hose.
been there, had to do that, not pleasant.

Our "camping trips" are sometimes a few months long. Knowing when it'due south time to dump gets a little more of import then. Waiting until the grey tank backs upwardly into the shower isn't my idea of a good indicator. Our SeeLevel 2 organization does the chore quite nicely, and much more than accurately than the unproblematic "idiot low-cal" systems.

Posted By: hershey on 09/01/x 02:26pm Tank levels are the nearly over-rated accessory for whatever RV. You can spend a lot of time, money and frustrations in keeping them clean and working.
If their accurateness is that important, then go for it but ane tin just likewise settle back and judge the tank levels from the history of their camping and how much fresh water they have used. I know I can go for a week earlier I take to transfer (level) my gray tank into the blackness so easily get for another three days earlier I need to do so once again and then its fourth dimension to recall near finding a dump station. I haven't looked at my tank levels in over 6 years.

Is any one else using these? They would be a much simpler install than a ocean level organization.

Posted By: LScamper on 09/01/ten 05:30pm I installed the Horst probes.

Before the Horst probes the fresh water monitor ever worked, the gray water sometimes worked, and the blackness water only worked after much cleaning with a water wand. After the first time I use the black tank they would not piece of work until cleaned again.

Subsequently a two month trip with the Horst probes this is the event:
The gray water always works.
The black water works most of the time.

I have not tried to make clean the black water tank with a cleaning wand yet.
They seem to be much better than the original probes just the black water probe still does not piece of work 100% of the time.

After a 2 calendar month trip with the Horst probes this is the result:
The greyness water always works.
The blackness water works most of the time.

I take not tried to make clean the black water tank with a cleaning wand however.
They seem to be much better than the original probes merely the black water probe however does not work 100% of the time.

update:
The motor home I had previous to the Coachman was a southward wind, I installed the no fuss flushers that I purchased from camper world, I flushed my tanks (Grey and black) nearly every time I dumped, In the 15 or so years I owned that motor dwelling the tank guages always worked correctly, I have installed the no fuss flushers in my Coachman, I have flushed and flushed, added soap and flushed, added dish washing soap and flushed, notwithstanding don't piece of work right. tomorrow I'll see if I can get to the tanks and remove the sensors and make clean them. If that doesn't work I'll try to supplant them with something thats been mentioned on this postal service.

thank you for all the input:


Posted By: dbates on 09/01/10 09:22pm I replaced my tank monitors 4 years ago with the SeeLevel arrangement and accept been very well pleased with it. They used the existing wiring so information technology was just a affair of rewiring to the stick on sensors at the tanks, modifying the opening for the read-out and installing it. They provide a per centum of fullness for whatever tanks you have plus house bombardment voltage.

thanks for all the input:

Got into the tanks this morning time, the sensors are glued in, the easest opton will be to replace them with the Horst probes, just drill new holes and change the wires. if this doesn't worh I'll go with the other bounding main level system, this looks like the better system, simply looks like more work. I apply the Buss system when working on my motorhome (KEEP IT Uncomplicated STUPID)
Thanks again for all the replies.


Posted By: aztortuga on 09/03/10 12:09am I installed the horst sensors in my MH black tank several months ago. Work peachy---better than when the MH was new ---since--- after the first calendar week the originals were never authentic. Now the gauges are really usable.

I take a gear up on order, should be hither the first of the week. It would exist prissy to have the guages working correctly.[emoticon]

Question:
Did you use the ground that was installed on your tank?
Ive received my probes, there are 4 in the bundle. ( have 3 sensors and a basis on my tanks) Practice I supervene upon the ground with one of these?


Posted Past: omylip on 09/04/ten 04:12pm In concert with this topic I was wondering if the Tornado, black tank flusher I've seen at Camping World is worth the money and does it work equally far as cleaning the sensors? Is it easy to install?

don't know about these, but I installed a prepare of no fuss flushers that I got from camper world and they exercise a pretty skillful job. how ever I installed these in my present motor home, they did a swell chore of cleaning the tank simply the sensors still didn;t piece of work right. (bought the motorhome used and the probs were so messed upwards that cleaning didn't help.) I installed a set of the host probs, I have even so to go camping ground and so I could test them. installed the no fuss flushers myself, wasn't difficult if the tanks arn't hard to get to.
Posted By: Tinstar on 09/04/10 07:47pm I'll vote for the Horst sensors likewise.

Posted By: B Bob on 09/04/10 09:04pm I tried everything to become my old tank judge organization to work. Gave up. Added Come across Level last month. Works groovy so far. I must accept had the one-time system cleaned out professionally 5 times. Information technology would work for ane twenty-four hours. Then desultory.
Posted By: aztortuga on 09/04/10 eleven:16pm Negative on replacing the ground wire. Just use the one that came with the tank ready from the factory. Replace they three sensors that you see installed with the Horst sensors. Should exist a direct replacement. I tried to get my old sensors out of the tank just they would non come up out, so I simply pushed them into the tank and inserted the new ones, tightened them upwards and used the sometime wires. The sometime sensors that went into the tank came out when I drained the tank my next dump. I know because I saw them come out though my clear plastic hose connector. Very unproblematic, no unusual hookups to consider.

I got an east postal service from Horst; their communication----supersede all sensors including the ground sensor, they give you four sensors, use one for the ground, only move all 4 wires to the 4 new sensors.
My sensors were glued in, I only drilled new holes and moved the wires to the new sensors.


Posted By: Peter L on 09/06/10 09:50am Nosotros e'er try to drive the mean solar day earlier dumping the blackness tank to ensure that its contents have been sufficiently liquefied. In those cased where nosotros've parked over a period of fourth dimension I'll add a proficient quantity of fresh water to the black tank earlier dumping. The gray tank is easier to judge and gets dumped almost every twenty-four hour period particularly after doing the dishes and taking showers. We do not get out the drain valves open until it is time to dump.
Posted By: BarbaraOK on 09/06/10 11:55am Are y'all guys all telling me you can't figure out when your tanks are going to need to be dumped? Really?

Black tank is uncomplicated, when you get a 'burp' as you flush, its time to dump. And yes, even with the offset you will become a 'burp'. We can generally go 12-14 days (big tank) with the 2 of us unless someone is ill!

Grey tank, depending upon the size after a few trips you should know how many days you can normally get. If using the w/d, I've got 6 loads plus normal showers/dishes, etc. and so dump. If not using the w/d - so dump with the black tank.

Yep, I know, we accept big tanks, simply it is not rocket science to effigy out.

Posted By: PackerBacker on 09/07/10 06:27am My feel with rv tank indicators is that they are pretty useless so I simply don't use them except for the fresh water one.

Experience tells me that later 3-iv days of showering and dishes etc, I should dump the grey; after a week or so I should dump the black. Been doing this for years.

When boondocking, I typically need to flush the tanks when the fresh water runs out!
