How To Glue Sensor To Holding Tank
Our top fill sensor has come loose from the gray water holding tank. Is there any special glue that I should use to stick it back on, or can I just use superglue or something of that nature?
Thanks,

I would use a 2 part epoxy, Clean and scuff up the area good mix up a little 2 part epoxy and you should be all set.

At RedBay I was told two sided tape DOES NOT work. I don't know about epoxy. They replaced the sensor and wiring. my 2 cents

RTV
Most tanks are Polypropylene so many glues will not adhere. I'd think RTV would work the best.

I had two come loose and used RV Goop to reattach. That was about June 2019 and they are still holding today, August 2020.

The sensor for my toilet was not attached properly. Tiffin told me to use clear silicone. It's been working for over a year.

Second post here, we were some of the last who were able to watch the build of a rig and when they attached the sensors they peeled a backing off of it and just stuck it on without seemingly a lot of thought to the exact location.
We noticed one not sticking so the guy pulled a clear “condiment bottle” (sort of the size and shape of a ketchup bottle at a cafeteria) and squirted a clear liquid on it and attached it. It was thicker than water but definitely not thick like an epoxy or some such.
An aside, I would love to move my top two sensors down a bit and the bottom one up a bit on the fresh water tank but don’t dare jack with that which sticks. Another aside, I never knew being able to see your fresh water tank while filling would be such an awesome thing. No guessing, just fill her up.

I am seriously look at getting installed a new device called SEE LEVEL 709P31003 Tank Monitoring System at the dealer because of the wiring, also getting at the black and gray tanks. ALL DEPENDS on the install costs. The kit costs $250 on amazon.

Response from Tiffin
The OP here; I heard back from Tiffin service and below is their response.
"Yes sir super glue is what we will normally use. We also use an accelerator that speeds up the curing process of the super glue but I don’t know if you can find this just anywhere or not. I would put super glue on it and just put a piece of masking tape on the tank and across the sensor and on the other side of the tank to hold it until it cures."
That sounds pretty easy to me. If I can get my arm up in there, I'll glue it on.
Thanks,

Gorilla glue makes a super glue in gel form that is not runny.
