Was at show yesterday. Wish we were able to have gone today and say hi, but we live in South Florida. The new Cirrus 920 is on display 👍.

Next time!

I'm in the process of adding a portable solar panel port. I learned that it's best to match the voltage of the portable to any existing panels on your roof unless you use a separate controller for each.

Following for updates on how this works with black tank!🙃

We’ll do an update soon:)

Nicely done, even with a little trial and error, nice improvement. I would suggest a set of knee pads even if only used annually, will be a real asset to you if your knees are like mine! Carey On!

Thanks!

Nothing more comfortable than accurate sensors for the tanks.

Yes!!

Before you replace that cable, see if you can disconnect the handle end and elevate the cable assembly higher than the valve and spray wd40 in the end every 15 min or so and see if it works itself down the sheath. Just something to try before throwing parts at it.

Good idea. Thanks!!

Great information guys. Don't be too hard on yourself Dave. When learning about these new projects, "little detours" happen. They are only mistakes if they are not rectified. You guys always follow through and that helps follow travelers as well. I do hope your families in Oregon and Montana got through this cold stretch safely? We had, but a few really cold days (-20's and colder). Once the temperatures got above 0 F, it was like a heat wave. My catarct surgeries were a great succes! It's like someone cleaned Vaseline off my eyeballs. Everything is so clear now. Safe travels my friends. Carey On!

Everyone we know made it through the cold and power outages. Congrats on the new eyes!! That must be amazing!

A suggestion would be to install an electric dump valve on your black tank. A compact electric valve would eliminate the long cable problem.

I replaced my black tank cable which turned out to be the rubber seal had twisted on the gate valve causing it to bind up. My replacement valve which had a long cable said I could make a 90degree curve over like the distance of a foot. Yours definitely looks like it has too sharp of a curve.

I think so too. Plus there are two curves making it an s shape.

Thanks for the info!

Any time!

Time to label the handles. I did it with a label maker and it helped during services. Maybe drain the tank and you have to reset the sensors to "Zero".

Hope you have fun at the show!😃

Nice Job Guys! I like Mopeka a lot. Under the RV is as important as the top. Lube the cable maybe?

Thanks! I tried lubing the cable but it didn’t help much🤷‍♂️

Good job! Really strange that the factories don't install better gauges from the start. Hope you enjoy and benefit from the new sensors. Enjoy the snow-free grounds.

If you learn something was it really a mistake? I see it as a lesson. However you do scare me being under the camper without support besides those wobbly legs.

Hi Guys, When I did my gray tank sensor, I had to put in the app. how many inches high my tank was. Did you notice that on yours? Just an fyi. Take care.

@CareyOnVagabond

Didn’t see that. Thanks!!!🙌🙌

A thought ...did you make an adjustment in the app for the height or thickness of tank.

@CareyOnVagabond

5 ай бұрын

We did after seeing all of the comments about it!🤷‍♂️😂 Thanks!

Did you set your tank height in the Mopeka App settings? You will not get accurate percentage readings if you didn't.

@CareyOnVagabond

5 ай бұрын

Didn’t see that on the instructions! Thanks! Will check it out!

Is there the ability to calibrate the sensors. So if the tank is actually empty, reset the reading to zero and if it’s 100% reset the reading to full? I can do that on my sprinkler system which isn’t quite the same but perhaps there is the same functionality…

@CareyOnVagabond

Turns out we didn’t realize that in the app settings you need to type in the correct height of each tank. We’ll do an update after a bit of use.

Hi to you all. Just wondering with the tank full or empty in the apt can you calibrate it? Thanks we are currently heading up the east coast from Key West 🏝️. Take Care and Safe Travels.

Hope you had a great time in the keys! It appears we needed to go into the app settings and add the height of the tanks. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ We’ll do an update soon!

Is there a way to calibrate the sensers?

Some comments suggest we need to go into the settings and add the height of the tanks. Will check that out!
