Seems like the Mopeka app/sensor is a hit and miss product. Mine has been faulty from the start. New tank, put the sensor on with the grease provided, no condensation on the tank bottom. Just got my tank filled. It still reads 15%.

Got time left to return it, I'll go the Trauma route and see how that works.

Truma, not Trauma. You're welcome.

I think this is better:

Dometic LPGC10 LP Gas Checker

I went through two of them when I gave up and got the Trauma. The battery cage in the Dometic broke in both.

Funny, mine is 2 years old and on the same battery. Works like new down to 19 degrees last Xmas vacation. :)

Likewise. Mine keeps working.

Our tanks are at shoulder height in camper- even empty not 'easy' to lift.

Mine too, so pulling them out to do a "weight check" to judge the estimated level isn't going to happen.

I've had the Mopeka sensors for two years and they've been flawless other than needing to change the batteries about every 8 months

One of those items that seems either loved or hated.
Made short video of use. youtube. Course Camper batteries need changing, I get about a year.


When too lazy to get up and push monitor button or open phone I can ask Margaret to check on her phone:)

I have the Trauma unit and its the bomb! I push the rubber spring tip to anywhere on the tank, it beeps red or green....if its Red, its out to that point...if its green, then its full to that point. Keep moving up if you wish.

I mark an erasable blue tic at the filled-to spot (date it) and keep doing that each day for a few times...soon you KNOW your true use and the gizmo is superfluous.

I used 2.5 iterations of that stupid Topeka ****...They parts either broke or fell apart and were "no longer supported". I was done 3 years into buying into that BETA program.

I espouse to the keep it simple program.

I just release the strap and partially raise the tank without taking it out and I get a feel for the level. Would prefer the sensor was accurate, but it really is not much effort involved.

How do you manually check the level in the tank?

I've had numerous RVs since 2003 and have no known way to manually check the level in the tank that "isn't much trouble"
