Fresh water tank sensor

Excellent!
Now, to save a bit of grinding on my old body from the coarse gravel in our campsite, can someone please tell me which side of the tank I should expect to find the sensors on?
The outside (curb, or passenger's side) will require me to remove the pegboard from that shallow bay (if that IS the fresh tank immediately behind it). Not a biggie, but as I said, being under the coach will be a bit uncomfortable, so I'd like to spend that time as efficiently as possible.
And here's another thought: won't I have to clean the surface of the foil and pads, then just glue the perimeter of the pads (backed up by duct tape) in order to maintain electrical continuity between the pads and the foil?

My '03 DS is exactly as you described. I removed the pegboard and never put it back. I just used duct tape to reattach the sensor(s) including the black and grey tank ones also. Sometimes the tape appears to be coming loose and I just push it back into place or replace it. Not a big deal in the overall picture.

A side benefit to having the pegboard out of the way is that you can see the fresh water level easily confirming what your gauge is telling you.

Go and get the silver foil tape used on home AC systems. THAT adhesive tape is perfect for replacing or enhancing the existing foil on the tanks. You also can use that silver foil to secure the wires to the tank. It will stick better than duct tape. Doug
