My Holding Tank Gauge and my Propane Gauge are giving false readings. The
holding Tank Gauge seems to be displaying the read of the LP tank. The Fresh
Water Gauge died last fall when going into storage. Where should I start?
Ready to get out of the garage for first day out in 2011 this Sunday.
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to holding tank sender hell. I wouls first plug and unplug the sender wire at the propane tank to see what happnes. It's unlikely ttah the senders are miswired.As far as holding and fresh seners, they are very troublesome and there are multiple solutions. First start with the propane and see if anything changes.

TJ, I been wondering about you. Welcome back. Sometimes I have to loosen the propane wire, at the tank, and clean it good to keep it working. Fresh works great. The black, I use a flashlight. I love the look of the original gauges.

my prediction is that you will never get the holding tank gauge to reliably read correctly. What I do is fill the water and empty the holding tank on the same stop. When your water tank is half down (you can get that to work) your holding tank is half full - one gauge for both. This is a common practice I think.

When you remove and clean the connectors, be sure and put some anti-oxidant paste on them. They will cause less trouble in the future. Very inexpensive fix for many electrical problems involving connections and sockets. I carry a tube in my tool box.
