opinions on after market holding tank monitoring system

Our new fifth wheel has the worst gauges I have ever encountered. We do some dry camping and go to state parks where we have no sewer and need a more accurate option. I have read of Sea Level brand....

Sea Level is a much better option for tank level indication.

The OEM style is just a stud that protrudes into tank and 'stuff', toilet paper or just being wet with cause them to indicate.

For me.....too much extra $$ and the aggravation of installing them just to measure tank level.
As most fresh water tanks run out of water before black & grey tanks are full I don't worry about them.

We (2 of us) can go 1 week......then it's time to refill & dump

Can't even remember the last time I used the monitor panel.
