My TT has a rather large fresh tank and when I do a weekend trip, I don't want to haul excess water. I do a lot of camping at places that have no water available.

I bought one of these and it solved my problem. Less than $20 with shipping.

I thought you could never have too much water or battery life when you were boondocking.

He could start with an empty tank and go from there. I too would be curious to know how accurate the gauge is. Run a test and let us know.

Neat idea. Can you fill a gallon bucket and see how accurate it is? Now all we need is a way to see how much water is already in there!

That is pretty cool, and it's by the same company that makes the Kill-a-watt, so I looked around- they make a wide range of products- http://www.p3international.com/products/index.html.

I ran a test on a 1 gallon milk jug and it was right on.

No, but you can have too much weight when hauling up a 16% grade.

I thought something like that would cost 10 times as much.
