ACCURATE RV Tank Readings! || SeeLevel Tank Monitoring System Install From RVupgrades.com!

When it came to installing our SeeLevel Tank Monitoring System we decided to add new wiring instead of using the current wiring. We opted for this so we could compare the two systems, and since we're not the handiest of people we thought it safer to leave the old system alone. Running new wire was preferred for us anyway since we knew our wiring path from previous installs (like solar and battery) and it would be easier to problem solve if there was an issue. We used the SeeLevel II 709-4 four our system: www.getawaycouple.com/go/seel...

[@cynthiasnedeker2981]

Always good to see you both. Thanks for the info

[@island7458]

Wow, look at you guys, good work! Masking tape might not last very long securing wires. Keep the vids coming, thank you.

[@webcompanion]

Would love to hear more about your Home Assistant setup and how you configure the RV LAN and WAN with what I suppose is a mobile hotspot. I use Home Assistant at my bricks and sticks home, not sure how I would setup the mobile version. Great video about the SeeLevel!!

[@EricHarmon67]

Our RV (which is our first RV) came standard with these sensors. So while I don't have any basis for comparison, I really like the SeeLevel a lot. I wish it were even more precise! Ours jumps by about 4 to 5% at a time. So it starts out at 0, then doesn't change until it shows 4, then doesn't change until it shows 8, and so on. I'd love to see it show each percent - 0%, 1%, 2%, and so on, but what it *does* do is pretty great. I think the Bluetooth connectivity would be awesome as well!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good job guys.

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks!

[@mgb3205]

I’ve heard of these sensors before. Thanks for the excellent video on it. Agree with you about boondocking and uncertainty about levels in grey, black, and fresh water tanks. Jersey Mike Grand Design ‘20 Momentum 351M, ‘17 F450

[@GetawayCouple]

Hey, Jersey Mike! Thank you, glad you liked the video! It's been great knowing our exact levels, we're loving the system.

[@freetoroam6606]

Now that's it's been more the a year of use can you please give an update on how they system is working out for you. Pro's and Con's. I would like to get this in my unit but would like an update prior to doing so. Thank you

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Nice upgrade!

[@daxeric9193]

I realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream new series online?

[@bobshaw4063]

Jason great job installing the SeaLevel Tank Monitoring system . Hope it does every thing you want it to do accurately .

[@GetawayCouple]

It's been working great!

[@bobshaw4063]

@@GetawayCouple Thanks for your reply . Glad to hear that it's working great .

[@AKRichardM]

Installing them next week!

[@GetawayCouple]

Awesome!! How do you like it so far?

[@AKRichardM]

They work well though we occasionally get mis-readings from the black tank sensor. And due to the weird Tetris-like tank shapes, 60% of the capacity is in the lower 50%. This is in a diesel pusher where the tanks need to slide under the frame rails and still take advantage of the height on each side. Anyway, thank you for the videos.

[@rileyhaakon3539]

Hi guys, awesome job and very helpful video. Curious if you could share more detail about how you did wiring? Was it just one long set of wires running between the furthest tank and the control panel, that you then spliced the other tank sensors into? Is there a word for that kind of splice (I'm assuming it's different than a butt splice, which is end to end vs. end to middle section of wire) if that is what you did? Thanks!

[@denzilramsey]

Thanks for the great video, are you planning on integrating you sea level with the Victron color control panel?

[@robrob31295]

You make it look so easy😖 but this is a great idea!! Jason its a good thing we don't know exactly where you guys are as there would be a line for you to update all of our RV's..hugs🤗💞

[@GetawayCouple]

lol! Always on the run 😉

[@randyrainwater983]

So I just recently saw an ad for the Bluetooth version. I’m just finishing the replacement of the Micropulse tank monitoring system on our 2013 Airstream FC 30 RBQ.

[@RVHabit]

Running the wires is usually the hardest part of any electrical upgrade. I have wanted to install the SeaLevel Tank system in my RV for 2 years now and I keep putting it off. As for RV Upgrades I use them all the time they always have what I can't find anywhere else.

[@GetawayCouple]

It's definitely our new go to website for all things RV related!

[@williamquestmagic]

Very interesting ...thanks for the info. bill in Florida

[@theroadoffaith7855]

Neat! Just had Kleen Tanks do our tanks and sensors still it great. He recommended see level - this looks cool but daunting to install myself

[@gregebel3842]

This should be a factory option on all RVs.

[@GetawayCouple]

Would be great right?

[@winginitwithjohn8451]

I just ordered this same setup, thanks to your video. My Fuzion toy hauler has the same tanks. I did give you the credit when I ordered. The link you have provided is not working.

[@marrdrocertifiedprofession3715]

Amazing content. Didn't even know this existed. I've yet to open my underbelly cover on my 337 RLS. Doesn't look like it would be that hard to pull down and put back up. On a side note, I put two antenna's (Directv, ToGo) on my roof. It was hard to figure out how to get from roof to basement. Discovered a "Void" behind my linen closet and shower enclosure. Love our GD but next time you "In the Know" people talk to your GD POC's, tell them a "Pass Through" from roof to basement would be a nice thing to put into their 2022 plans. :) :) :) Again, amazing content.

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks! What year GD to you have? They started adding exactly what you're talking about in late 2018/early 2019 models already! We know because we were jealous the model after us had the roof access and ours didn't for our solar install! We get you, drilling into your roof is scary stuff lol.

[@str8up598]

Good luck.

[@jameswhite5883]

Hey, Jason, you mentioned a couple of times about the "Smart RV" system. have you done a video yet on this. We have the 2020 version of your RV and based our purchase on the Changing Lanes walk-through of your rig.

[@GetawayCouple]

We haven't done a video yet, but now that we're doing daily vlogs I think we're going to cover this topic!

[@PnwFireguy]

Jason have you been able to find out if the Seelevel system can feed your CCGX tank level display inputs?

[@GetawayCouple]

Not yet but they are working on it - community.victronenergy.com/articles/14125/rv-c-protocol-and-victron.html Victron already has the ability to read the existing resistive tank sensors though with standalone modules that are expensive or some the GX series have it built in

[@Mythlandia]

You mentioned a Bluetooth system and connection to your phone. Any more info? When might this happen?

[@kennethbeauchamp7453]

Any update on how the tank monitoring system is working? I am looking to do the same upgrade but I have a 380FL and have 5 tanks. Cant seem to find where they have that system but I will call them.

[@GetawayCouple]

We love them! Super handy for boondocking when we want to monitor our tanks to the gallon.

[@Tryke_Ryder]

Removing the underbelly insulation would have made me think hard about if I really needed to know the level of the tanks!!! 🤓

[@GetawayCouple]

lol we like knowing how things work! We've wanted to take off the underbelly for a while so this was a great reason to :)

[@christophergronau4346]

Hey guys, we’re you able to use the sensors that came with kit? I’m tying to get dimensions of the tanks on GD 310GK.

[@GetawayCouple]

Hi Christopher! Sorry for the delay, yes we were able to use the sensors that came with the kit :)

[@christophergronau4346]

We just watch your video with the fan upgrade in your bathroom. Don’t blame us (Michigan) for your fly problem! Lmao. That was great! Hope your staying safe!

[@yelworb]

Rae can we borrow Jason to install our sensors? Lol

[@GetawayCouple]

lol sure!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Our black tank always shows full haha

[@GetawayCouple]

lol ours did too! It's been great having the SeeLevel and actually getting to see what we're at.

[@bigd332s66]

How do these sensors measure tank volume from the outside of the tank?

[@GetawayCouple]

They have electronics embedded in the printed circuitry that send signals through the tanks contents to determine the level! :)

[@bigd332s66]

Getaway Couple that makes sense. Kinda like a sonar

[@daleagner8980]

How is this system performing for you so far?

[@jg8644]

You did all that and then don't show us what the real live tank levels are on the monitor itself!!

[@arkansasboy45]

You went so fast with the wiring that it made no sense.
