Has any one else wished there was a second Fluids Control Panel located in the UDC? By Fluids Control Panel, I mean that standard white control panel that is in the coat closet that has the tank and battery levels and the water pump and gas water heater switches.
When I want to put water in my fresh water tank, I always put more in than I want. I usually try to keep 1/3 tank. When I know I need a full tank, I will fill it. But still, no gauge outside in the UDC to know what the level is.
Same when I am power flushing the black tank. When I am pumping water in it at varying campground water pressures, I want to know what my tank level is before I turn it off, flush, then repeat as many times as needed.
When I am outside doing anything near the UDC, it would be nice to open it up and check the gray/black tank levels. If needed, I can empty right then.
Sure, sure, I can go inside the trailer anytime to check the main panel, I am just saying, it would be handy.
So, has anyone done this? Do you think adding a second panel in parallel would add too much resistance to the monitoring circuits resulting in impaired readings?
