I rest my case for the SeeLevel monitor. It works.

Sounds like your father is a wise man, furpod. I miss mine.

Yeah, I did the voltmeter thing:

If we keep this pod another year or so (without upgrading) and it can fit, I'd go with a composting toilet and then join the black to grey for 60 gal. grey. We'll see. Composting toilet:

Ours has "percentages".. I believe everything to do with the "monitor panel" is hokum and voodoo.

I am adding an actual digital voltage readout to the 12v side soon. My father, who has worn out more RVs than most says the way to ell when your grey tank is full is when your shower turns into a bathtub, and the black tank is all about listening to the "flush" sound. When it changes.. time to dump.]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2014 15:42:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4859&PID=47292#47292 Monitor Panel : Not a problem!

I think we are stumped-   I've wondered the same thing....my best guess is-

C= Charged or Charging ??
G=Good ??
F= Float ??   as in 13.2 volts when the charger is in float mode.
L= Low ??

I received no manual from FR with my r-pod...go figure.

I have a 182g. My question for all is this:
What do the letters L,F,G,C mean on the battery portion?
I can not find an explanation in my manual.
