Anyone use the See-Level tank gauges?

August 10, 2011, 05:39:05 pm

Thinking of installing this system.  Has anyone done it?  It will be on a '95 U320.  Would like to pick others brains on this before I strain my own!

I bought two kits which were on sale last winter but have not installed them yet.
I bought two kits because our tanks are too tall to use just one sensor/tank. The extra sensors required were not on sale and cost way more than a second kit. They may still be on sale.

Do a search on this forum for sealevel and seelevel.  You will find several posts.

Keith, I installed the SeeLevel 709A on my 93, U225 when the Javelina CRT went out. I liked it very much and have no complaints other than as Wyatt said you have to buy multiple sending units to accommodate the height of the tanks for full accuracy. The sending units are only 12" tall and if you want accurate readings you need to cover the entire height of the tanks. The neat thing is that you can use the OEM wiring and all three signals run on one wire. You will see how this works when you get the kit.

The additional sending units were $99 each but they go on sale occasionally for $69. I figured I only cared when the black and gray tanks were getting full so I used only one sending unit mounted on the top of each of these tanks. If you don't care about the fresh water tanks level until it is getting low you need only install one at the bottom of the fresh water tank. The LP gas uses the original OEM gas sending unit.

Due to using the original OEM wiring, I think this is the simplest system available to install. Its accuracy is the best you will find since there are no sending units inside the tanks that will get corroded. Their customer and technical service is as good as it gets. My first digital reader went out after two weeks. They sent out a new one immediately, no questions asked at no charge. I will put one on my U300 as soon as something goes wrong with the old Audit system.

Ditto Kent's remarks except ours uses two sensors for the full range.  We had them installed in Albuquerque 17 months ago at the FMCA Convention.  Kent's idea would work great to save some bucks and get the most important information.  Our display unit is right under the bathroom sink.  Easy to see sitting on the pot and trivial to run the wires from the sending units right in the same neighborhood.
We are very happy with our system, a great product.  Absolutely no issues (knock on wood).

Since I bought Kent's U-225 I have really enjoyed the gauges he installed.  We figured out the system and like knowing about the top half of the gray and black tank, don't miss the bottom half.

Thanks everyone.

I think that it will be the next project.

I purchased the SeeLevel because the CRT in the Audit system went out. I took out the old 5" CRT screen and made up an aluminum plate painted black to mount the SeeLevel display. I used a separate 7" screen for the backup camera.
