Permanent solution is to install SeeLeveL gauges. They are pricey but are excellent. The sensors go on the outside and use an AM radio signal loop to sense the level. They read in smaller increments as well. I had to shorten the sensors and I still get readings in 5% increments.
Just Google for SeeLeveL and check it out. And no, I don't work for them or own stoc, I'm just a happy customer.
Although the SeaLevel system seems to be one of the best out there it can be messed up by too much crud building up on the tank walls.
The full timer that is parked next to us in AZ each winter had that issue with his system last winter.
The SeeLevel web site used to say "If sludge buildup in the tank becomes extreme the gauge will cease to operate (the tank will always read empty), so by monitoring the signal level the tank can be cleaned before the buildup gets excessive".
Now in chapter six in the owners manual it says:
"a. The signal power is an indication of how much signal is being
transmitted through the tank wall and picked up by the receive part of
the sender. If the signal power is too low, it can indicate a sender
which is detached from the tank,
excessive buildup on the inside of the tank, bad wiring to the sender, low battery voltage, or a defective sender. The minimum signal power for proper operation is 5%.

HEREI have the non-contact sensor system Winnebago started using in 2005 and it can be fooled pretty easy. If I was going to replace it I would give the SeaLevel system a try.
