Title: Audit/Tank Monitor
Post by: RandallBrink on June 07, 2025, 11:58:13 am
I cannot power up the cockpit electrical and tank monitor in 1993 U240. I plan to trouble shoot starting with the system manual if I can find one in the coach library . However, if the monitor needs replacement, is there a better upgrade solution than the OEM 1952 Philco TV tube?
TIA

For tank levels, Forum members usually suggest a SeeLevel system.  There are many Forum posts on this subject.

If it is just the screen, then there are many 7"-9" lcd screens available.

So far I can't be sure but that is the likely culprit.

I'm still using my OEM Audit system.  I have replaced the screen and the backup camera, but I like the tank monitors, temp sensor and compass.  I have some spare parts that a friend/former owner here on the forum gave me when he changed over to the SeeLevel system and I plan to try to keep my Audit system working as long as possible.  I have spare sensors and a spare computer.

The black tank reading went out last year and I've been putting off working on it because the sensor is tucked in behind the water manifold and hard to get to.  I know that if I dump and then fill the fresh tank, I won't ever overfill the black because I can still monitor the grey.

I would like to maintain mine as OEM. So I am looking to search, first for the monitor, as that is likely the problem now, and, if necessary, the other components.
