Filling fresh water tank

Originally posted by StephenH Originally posted by CharlieM If you fill until it overflows you will know it's full.

It looks quite impressive. What is the price for a SeeLevel system?

$185 for a three tank system at RVUpgrades.

Also available from Amazon. It works VERY well as several of us Campliters have found.

When I fill, I listen for the change in pitch as the water gets to the filler neck. Since i have a valve at the end of the hose (Camco 40003), I can usually catch it and shut it off just before it starts overflowing. You may also see it at your local Walmart, Camping World, Home Depot, or other places that carry RV equipment. Another tool that is handy is the one to flush out the hot water heater. It is helpful to get the sediment out of the hot water tank when the anode rod is removed for inspection or winterizing.

The gauge lights are notoriously inaccurate -- at least they seem to work better for some than for others.  When filling, I use the go until it overflows method.
