Anybody done an upgrade on the tank sensors and indicators, found this on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/See-LeveL-Tank-Monitor-709/dp/B004A34I10/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437491393&sr=8-1&keywords=seelevel+tank+monitor


I have a 179 and find the sensors and indicators are inaccurate.

You don't have to look hard on this or any other RV forum to confirm how bad and utterly useless the OEM four light monitors are. The most frustrating offender is the black tank monitor that gives false positives due to clogging of the probes. To a lesser extent this is also true of the gray tank. Even the battery monitor is inaccurate in that it is only correct under two conditions: Either the battery is being charged, but you have no indication of charge level, or you left the battery at home and have no shore power.

That said I and many others have installed the SeeLevel monitor. This monitor is excellent, easy to install, trouble free, and accurate. I highly recommend it.

Did you install it yourself or have a dealer do it?

I installed the SeeLevel myself in my present Camplite trailer. Had I kept the Rpod I would have done the same. It's not hard.
