Iflyfish Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Looking for a replacement for the sensor panel for my '87 Sunrader. Current buttons are damaged but work. Thanks Iflyfishguages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCamper Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Is this the same panel that you are looking for?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All built into the range hood, right? I've only ever seen them as 'stand alone' panels. What's it out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it's part of the range vent hood. I'm not fond of it and the tank sensors stopped working long ago. I'd like to replace the hood with a new one but I've not been able to find one that I know would be compatible (rear vent with a light). I can move the water pump switch and then I'd just junk the whole panel. I'd get See-Level if I did want to monitor the tanks (some day in the future I'll get around to this). So it sounds like it's unlikely to be what Iflyfish is after... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCamper Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 That panel is certainly on my 'to-do' list, but I may replace a tank or two first and so it's low in priority. I can monitor my fresh water tank very easily with a flashlight so I'm not in a rush about it. FYI, I just got my new leaf springs and shocks installed and I'm about to take a round trip to Birmingham from Atlanta to settle them out. I'll post an update under my 'blown leaf springs' thread after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iflyfishguagingmytanks They are not super easy to instal however you can use the existing wiring. The instructions are top rate and they are excellent units very accurate. The old ones were pretty useless brand new these things are the best hands down worth all the effort. I will give you a tip on the external tanks underneath once they are installed undercoat them with spray on undercoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iflyfish No matter what you do the stock tank sensors are only 25% accurate there are only 4 so any thing in between is a guess. They are problematic and easily fouled with the likes of TP. The See Level ones are externally mounted and have a wide range of sensor points. I had an issue with one sensor mounting so I called the co, the owner actually answered the phone and was quickly able to give me a work around for the problem. If you really want to know what's in your tanks they are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iflyfish Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks Mainea, Will go the whole route then if I do replace the gauge. Much appreciated. Iflyfishconmitoyamigos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
