I Could Always Count On My RV Tank Level Gauge To Lie… Until Now
Now, with the invention of SeeLevel sensor technology by Garnet Instruments we can actually get accurate tank readings – no lie!
Don Shapansky was using this technology in commercial and industrial applications for fuel tanks, tank trucks, oil refineries and other tanks. After he purchased his first RV and the tank sensors “lied” to him, he decided to apply this commercial technology to his RV tanks.
SeeLevel sensors use a radio signal to determine the height of a liquid in a holding tank. It is an AM signal to be exact and using capacitance it measures the radio waves to determine the fluid level. When the AM signal is sent through the side wall of the tank and enters fluid it “curls” back and tells the sensor where the fluid level is precisely located.
You can install this system yourself. The sender unit is mounted on a flexible ribbon which has a special adhesive developed by 3M for this particular application.
All you do is clean off the area on the tank where you are going to affix the sender strips, peel of the backing and stick them on. You can hook these senders together for whatever height your tank is and you can cut them to length. The other great thing about the ease of installation is the fact that you can hook three separate tanks onto two wires because of a common bus. You can use the existing wire from your previous readout gauge. This system is digital, not analog, and is self calibrating so it just doesn’t get any better than this!

I installed the SeeLevel unit on my Allegro coach. It was a very install except for the fresh water tank. It sure is nice having accurate tank readings.
