I learned to use hair spray (aqua net) for making something slippery to fit it in when you want it to stay tight.

When marking a dark surface I like to use painters tape in the area then measure and mark with a pencil.

Great advice Robert!

Nice presentation, Sean. It is just a bit hard to see the contrast between the black items and the black tank. Do you have any white tanks you could use in future presentations like this? Cheers from the Capital City. ;)

[@RecProUSA]

Hi Ray! The fittings we are using for the video only work for holding tanks which are for black water. We do however carry white fresh water tanks as well, but these fittings wouldn't be ideal for those.

I purchased RecPro's cargo door and I love it. I am looking around youtube and the internet in general for ideas on how to attach a watertank to the underside of the box and I found this video. I did not know that there were water tank sensors, obviously there are sensors, and this is something that would be very useful. Thanks so much for the video. I'll check out your tanks and fittings kit.

Another option I've seen is using spin weld fittings.

I have a question, I restored a retro trailer, put in new tanks. Trying to decide where to place the sensors, it is not square, the dump side is larger then the back side, it is angled .do I place the sensors in the back still? Or on the larger front side where the drain is? Worries about getting debride on them if I put them on the side were it drains even tho it's larger. Thanks

Are those eye glasses “ proper PPE protection?” LOL

[@joelaroche7667]

Tell us more about the ground sensor below the full tank sensor. What is it? Does it come with the other sensors when we order them???

No rtv silicon between the rubber and plastic when installing the inlet?

Great job - thanks

2" hole saw or 2.5" hole saw?

[@RecProUSA]

The hole saw will depend on which size grommet from the kit you are installing. The 1 1/2" grommets requires a 2 1/2" hole size and the 3" grommet requires 4" hole size.
