I need to know how to find the fresh water tank sensor on a 2019 Phaeton 40 AH. If anyone knows it would save me a lot of time hunting for its location.

Remove the fixed panels on the passenger side opposite the wet bay. However, if you are expecting to fix/replace the factory sensors, save yourself the frustration and have a SeeLevel tank sensor level system installed.

I have looked behind the drivers side water bay and it is not there. I do see an obvious way to remove the passenger side fixed panel. Must be some screws hidden somewhere.

I just pulled that side panel off to repair the black tank flusher spray head. The black tank sits on top of the fresh water tank and the fresh water sensor was very visible once that panel is off. There were 4 screws visible on the forward part of that panel, about 4 inches from the top and 4 inches from the bottom, same on the other end of that panel.They are in that tiny space between the two side panels to the rear. I'm talking about the panel just forward of the rear wheels on the passenger side of my 40 AP motorhome. The panel is not that heavy and is a one person job to remove and reinstall.
Once the panel is loose, you can remove the clamp holding the fresh water fill hose and the panel will come free.

FWIW, I added two modified butt hinges on the forward side of that door and left the screws on the rear. Simple mod that makes it much easier to access that compartment.
