New/Used Pod Owner Lots of questions?

Originally posted by Motor7 Hey, I was not advocating it, just that the suggestion is prolific on the 'net ;)

It's prolific everywhere...

A) Tank monitors are hokum. Did you know they build campers without them? those owners never have this discussion. And yet, they camp just fine.

B) Now that we have lots of people with phone cameras etc, and youtube accounts, a lot of documentation is available about all kinds of stuff. And this is one of those things a person can look up, and watch the video(s)..

C) The sensors are just continuity connections, so any dampness on the walls of the tank may connect them, no matter what it is.

D) When the shower backs up, grey is full. When the toilet doesn't go "sploosh", it's full.

E) The sensors are installed by untrained monkeys, who place the sensors randomly on the tank wall. On our Pod, the top or "full" sensor on every tank was at least a quarter of the way down the tank wall...

F) In general, grey is the issue when camping. It takes a serious amount of potty visits to fill 30 gallons in a weekend.. or a week for that matter. My experimentation shows an average of one quart going down each time.. that's 120 "events" to full.. If you are going in there 40 times a day (3 day camping weekend), I think you need to change your diet to whatever the doctor recommends after your visit, which should be on the Monday you get home from the CG.

For me, I think tank level meditation is the way to go.  It is every bit as accurate as the OEM tank monitors.  You just contemplate the liquid input and output in the tanks, your organism, and that of others and sooner or later you will achieve nirvana and enlightenment.
