Our first mh was a 1988 Mallard, it had tank probes and the monitor always worked.
Our next one was a 2001 Itasca, also with tank probes showing 1/3 levels. To me 1/4 levels would be a lot better. Anyway you could NOT depend the readings. My opinion the Mallard used the full 12 volts a-crossed the probes and the Itasca used a system like an Ome meter, and a film of moister would cause it to give faults readings.
A couple years after getting the '01 Itasca I learned about the SeeLevel system, got one and installed it. It gives readings in % which much better than thirds.
It has circuit boards that you peal and stick to your tanks. They use the original wires but only one.
We bought new 2014 Itasca in 2015, it also had a monitor panel that showed in thirds. I bought another new SeeLevel system and installed it in our new mh.
