Fresh Water Tank Sensor

I'm finding that my tank reads full, no matter what the level and wondering if anyone might have a plan of attack, before I go chasing off in the wrong direction and waste a lot of time?
  • are they located on the inside or outside the tank. If outside check to see if they are still secure. Calibrate after you find the issue, as not water, and then full.

    Is it all sensors or just water.

    Just got this rig, so not sure of anything, as I keep finding issues.
    Where and how is the calibration done?
    Grey water is starting to show up on the panel, as we keep using water, while working on it in the driveway. Propane shows 3/4, so who knows there and it will be awhile before we can get out and eventually know what the black tank is doing and the least of my concerns, as we usually dump every 3 or 4 days anyway and they seem to always go awry, in my experience.
  • Gotta somehow get to the sensor and see what is going on. May be stuck, may be faulty, or shorted.

    I have to agree and going directly to the sensors themselves, has to be the best approach, so will email a person I've come to know with a like coach and/or give Fleetwood a call.
    No matter, I've found that actually seeing the water level is best, sooooooooo, given that, it so happens that the water tank is partially visible in the bay next to the water management area and I've drilled two holes through the cover to see the level even better. Now while out there with the valve in the fill mode, I can observe it directly and shut it off, as needed.
