Hey guys, this is Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2022 Renegade Valencia, and we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the See Level II tank monitoring system. The specific system we installed today is gonna allow you to monitor your battery levels, your black, gray, and freshwater, and your propane tanks. The biggest difference and the greatest benefit of this system is that with the traditional style system, you'll have these pegs that poke through your tank and as the water fills up inside of whichever tank, it is going to make these connections. So your neutral is going to be the white wire here, you see. So when your tank is a third of the way full, this bolt will get wet on the inside and complete this connection and as it fills up, it'll touch this bolt and complete the connection.
That's what's telling you that you're at empty, one third, two thirds, or full. Well, not a lot of people like to know when they're two-thirds full. They like to know a little bit more accurate measurement because what can happen is it may say it's only a third of the way full, but it could be literally within one gallon of being two-thirds the way full. So when you're out camping, you wanna know more accurately what is in your tanks. That is what the See Level is designed to do.
The specific installation we did today is going to have seven sensors. There's these little blocks you see on the side, which if you break it down into a hundred percent, that's gonna be about 13% of the time. So instead of saying 33% full, 66% full and full, this is gonna break it down 13% at a time. So as you reach that 13%, it'll tell you 13, and then as it rises, it'll tell you 26, and so on and so forth. It's a way more accurate way to see what's in your tanks, and to see if you're full enough to empty before you leave for your trip.
Another great benefit of this system that most people don't even think about or you might be watching this video to help solve your problem. Because these are probes, they're sticking into your tank about two inches. Well, we all know what goes into our black tanks, and a lot of times stuff can get stuck on those probes, and that's gonna give you a false reading. So if you're getting a false reading, that's probably why a lot of people have different techniques on how to clean it. But why have to ever worry about that again You put the See Level system on, and it's an exterior tank monitoring system.
So you don't ever have to worry about anything getting stuck to the sensor. The one thing I will note is that from time to time, if stuff sits in your tank long enough, it can sit on the inside wall. If there is material in there that is throwing it off, if there's something stuck to the wall, maybe some tissue paper or something, it's gonna give you a false reading. So you still may have to clean your tanks, but you're not gonna have to knock something off of a probe. You're just gonna have to clean your tank and knock stuff off the walls. Now the really nice part about this kit that I like is that the strips are gonna be customizable 'cause all RVs will have different size tanks. The tanks on our Valencia here are gonna be really odd shaped. It's an L-shaped tank, but the owner of our RV here was perfectly fine with just sticking 'em to the outside. He really just wants to know when they're full. He just wants a more accurate reading of when they're full. The strips will come in three different sizes. You can get a six, a 12, which we have here, and a 16. And what you wanna do is you wanna get the strip that is the closest to the size of your tank without the tank being larger than the strip. So for instance, our tank here, we had about 11 inches of space. So we took the 12 inch strip, and you'll cut in between the sensors and we just cut one sensor off the bottom of our sensor here. Now for our freshwater, which is inside underneath the bed, it is a 16 inch tall tank. So we we're able to use the whole 16 inch strip, which is really nice because you want to be able to include as many of the sensors as possible. So if you have a six inch tall tank for instance, you wouldn't wanna use a 12 inch strip because at six inches, you'll only have four sensors. And I believe the six inch sensor will have eight. So just an example of it's g
