Look Ma No Bed

For those RB LD owners interested, access to the fresh water tank sensors does not require the removal of the drivers side couch.

After contacting Todd & Vince about my tank monitor prior to the MBGT and Todd still having difficulty in obtaining the Monitor Panel Circuit Board, I contacted JRV Products.

JRV Products is located in Santa Ana, Ca and are very receptive to individual needs. While I agree with Todd & Vince’s evaluation of my problem in obtaining accurate/consistent fresh water readings, JRV felt it was more likely a tank harness error. It was recommended that I check the harness. This required a bit of sleuthing.

After removing the aforementioned couch and wooden structure above the tank, I found that access to the wire harness was more easily achieved by removing one panel underneath the forward dinette cushion.

Nestled forward of the battery box, the harness is easily viewed yet a bit of a tight fit for my lumbering hands. It was JRV’s contention that a small connection or isolator (can’t recall what it was called) may be the cause of my trouble. It’s a $10 part. I ordered it. I also ordered the circuit board that Todd & Vince recommended. A $79.00 part.

When I pick up the parts next week, I’ll install the circuit board first (much easier than the wire harness) and go from there.

Here are some pics of the tank and sensor array.

Much appreciated, to help the next person get to things easier.

Thanks Larry,

I thought about installing the SeeLevel now that I’ve located the OEM sensor location. I do want the panel to function properly so I’ll do this first. At $80, it seems a practical solution.

Hopefully I can accomplish the panel circuit board replacement before we head to Zion in the middle of the month.
