Hello, looking into using digital gauges in the GMC in place of the lp, water tank gauges etc. I know that gas gauges work in different resistance values for example. If the resistance of the gauges match the OEM ones then i can replace them with new digital gauges.

The senders operate from 0 to 90 ohms.
Is that what you mean?

Hello, ok so if the digital gauges can work on 0-90 ohm senders and the LP tank sender is also 0-90 ohms then they would replace the older analog gauges on the refer cabinet. The digital gauges i have seen go from 0-99, 99 being full of course.... !!!
I was toying with the idea of a new display on the refer cabinet, the OEM ones have basically worn out on my coach.

What are you thinking of using, vendor, make, model. Most of the 0-99 ones I have found have been kind of pricey to put 3 of them to use for the monitor panel vs buying one from JimB.

Oh, I did check my 73 coach propane sender and it is marked 0-90 ohms.
But, I thought the more common problem was the sending units, water, waste water and such -- not the gauges.
Here is JimB's panel and sender solution....

Hello,
Well yes, using digital gauges as opposed to the "ready to go" model , is more expensive. I am looking for a different look, also want to get dash upgraded in time, to use the same the type of digital gauges, so it would match nicely. Had to make sure that the gauges would match the senders, so thanks for info guys
