SeeLevel tank monitor system
I hate our empty, 1/3, 2/3 and full tank monitors (which frequently lie). I'm looking at (and probably purchasing) the 4 tank level monitor made by Garnet Instruments. It will monitor our fresh, gal...

I've done a little more research. There are 2 stick on sensors available and they are stackable. They work on tank height of 3.5" to 26". According to Grand Design, my 4 tank heights vary from 7.75" for the fresh tank to 8.75" for the 3 holding tanks.
The sensors can be trimmed with scissors to accommodate different height tanks. The manufacturer suggests a 1/2" gap at top and bottom of tank due to the extra thickness at those points.
one trick is to pick the optimal sensor, the ones that will give you a nice increment in level adequate for your needs. In my case I was able to pick a sensor length that gives me readout in 10% increments.
Since the system is reasonably spendy, before I ordered I'd open up the bottom and actually measure the tank height where you are going to install the sensors, likely near the existing sensors.
To close to the top and it won't read 100%, to far down and 100% won't be full. Trick is to tape them on and find a happy medium, in my case for the black/grey/galley one where 100% reading was really around 90%, was close to the top, but didn't want to push it more. And for the fresh where 10% still had enough for a quick shower, washing some dishes etc. Not low enough that at 10% I would risk running out of water.
