A few “new” things

[Mike]

Yesterday I soldered a connection on the Instrument Signal Panel. Got it working! Today I installed a new water pump and got it running.
However, as I filled the fresh water tank my indicator only registered up to 1/2. As water was coming out the overfill tube the indicator still said 1/2.
I pulled the dipstick and stuck it into a wiskey bottle full of water (emptying the bottle was a great time, by the way) and adjusted the depth randomly. The instrument panel registered 0, 1/4, and 1/2, but never higher.
Has this been an issue with anyone? How did you get it rectified?
Thanks.

Oops, I looked it up in the owners manual, which is original and came with our purchase, and found 0, 1/4, and 1/2 is all the fresh water tank registers.
Man, do I love this thing!
Enjoy the day!

Glad you got it figured out. I would have thought a 3/4 reading would have been there too.

You mentioned yours has a dip stick? I believe mine just has sensors in the side of the tank. That's nice that yours is removable. What about the indicators for the water level. What does it look like?

[Mike]

Yes, my “dipstick” is removable. There are four sensors within the grooved portions of the four sides. Each one is a different length.
My curiosity is 4 sensors with only 3 readings. 0, 1/4, and 1/2.
I’m assuming one knows the tank is full as water pours out the overflow and our only knowledge comes when the tank starts losing water to the 1/2 point. Maybe?
The switch on the Instrument Signal Panel needs flipped in order to see the 0, 1/4, or 1/2 illuminate. The switch does not stay “flipped”. It resets.
Here are some pic’s, hopefully.

Great looking trailer. You have a pic of your instrument panel? Maybe the sensor for 0 on the dipstick could be moved to the 3/4 position?

[Mike]

The owners manual states those are the indicators. 0, 1/4, or 1/2. I’ve experimented with it. Once the dipstick senses water the 0 illuminates. As the water volume increases a faint “1/4” starts to show as the “0” starts to fade. Eventually the 0 disappears as the 1/4 becomes dominate. So it goes with 1/2. Pretty cool.
Now I’m looking to solve my toilet holding tank issue at the same time looking for an awning and brackets. Hoping to locate OEM.
Is there a location where I can find parts?
Thanks
