Water tank capacity and molding

   You can get an idea how much fresh water you have by looking at the tank. It is translucent polyethylene so you can see the water level with a flashlight. The best way for all tanks is to install an external sensor gauge system like SeeLevel. They go on the outside of the tanks and can be used with the existing wiring. The OEM 4 LED panel is worthless. The WH does hold 6 gallons but it's not really accessible since, once filled, it stays full. Be sure to fill the WH before you use the electric element.

	The water heater, I am told. holds six gallons. No idea how much the lines take but most folks winterize with one gallon of antifreeze. That will put a big dent in your 35 gallons of fresh water.

	Does anyone know of a way to measure the amount of water in the fresh water tank (or for that matter any of the holding tanks) other than the control panel 4 red lights? I thought I had filled to 2/3 last trip but ran short of water after 3 days. I realized I did not run the water pump to fill the hot water tank and the lines but still. there was only water for one shower. the other question has to do with the plastic molding (e.g. 1" vinyl strip around outside edge) on the outside of the trailer. the Southwest summer sun is murder on that so was wondering what compounds you may use to keep the plastic and vinyl supple. I have bought a cover so will be keeping it under that but would still like to protect the outside parts. thanks to all.
