Does anyone have any idea where I can get a level sensor for my Aladdin system?  I own a 2006 Patriot Thunder.  i have calle Catcon, the original supplier, several times and they do not return my calls.  I have contacted Monaco national parts and they referred me to Catcon, they cannot get these things either.  Maybe another sensor will work,  Anone have any idea on this?

Hi LarLee,

I have been considering the Seelevel system. How was the wiring done on the installation? Did you have to run any new wires into the coach, or did you use just the original Alladdin wiring? Did you mount the Seelevel panel, and where? Or are you only using the Alladdin display?

I installed both the original SeeLevel system and then the SeeLevel system with the Aladdin interface in our coach.

I had to run new wiring from each new tank sensor to the SeeLevel displays. I installed one display in the kitchen and one in the wet bay. I had to run 12 VDC to each display as well. I picked up the 12 VDC from nearby light switches.

With the Aladdin interface model, it is still necessary to run wiring from each of the SeeLevel tank sensors to a SeeLevel display unit, because the display contains all the electronics for the SeeLevel. That display, though, can be located down in a tank bay if you are never going to look at it, relying on the Aladdin system for display of the tank levels. That avoids the necessity of running new wiring from the tanks to the living space, where you would normally want a display.

Using the Aladdin display has limitations, though. It does not display accurate values at the upper end of the scale when you using the SeeLevel sensors. I.e., the tank readings will be spuriously high once the tanks are over about half full. For example, currently our fresh water tank shows 69% on the SeeLevel display and 74% on the Aladdin. When the level reaches 85% on the SeeLevel, the Aladdin will show 100%. I have talked to the folks at SeeLevel about this, and there is no solution.

 I called Beaver Sales and Service in Bend and they have a whole bin full of the sensors.  I ordered three in case another goes bad.  $35 each which I don't think is bad.
