2017 Dutch Star tank monitoring system

In our current Tiffin coach we installed a see level monitoring system which we love since it will show a more precise level of our black and grey tanks (think either 3 or 5% increments). Can someone tell me what the 2017 Dutch Stars have? Is it broken down more than just empty, 1/3/, 2/3, full?

Seeing if I should try to have see level added if something is not already setup that is more precise than the empty, 1/3, 2/3, full readings.

Thanks!
Brian

Many of us have added the SeeLevel system to our DutchStars.

Newmar may install it as a special.

Thanks, I'll ask my sales rep and try to get it added as we definitely would want to have it again!

I don't think the SeeLevel monitoring panel works with the water tank autofill functionality on the 2017 DSDP so it would need to be added as a secondary system. If I recall CentILRVer just dealt with this on his new Dutch Star.

I believe this is correct. The standard system must remain on the newer DutchStars. The SeeLevel would need to be an additional system.

Our 2015 does not have AutoFill so we just replaced it with the SeeLevel.

Thanks,
I think for now I'm just going to keep what comes standard from Newmar for tank monitoring as I read somewhere else that there is going to be a new See level system coming out that will be bluetooth. In that case I could just install sensors and then use my phone to view levels, and not have to worry about adding additional monitors.

We usually only need more detailed readings in the fall when taking coach to FSU games where we have power hookups but no water or sewer for weekend. Since we don't take delivery until after football season in December there is no rush to have right away.
