    Just shine a flashlight down to see how full, no?
    Those sensors are notoriously ineffective. If one drop of water/poop/tp stays on the sensor it’ll give a false reading, just the way it is…

    I just looked into it, and new sensors aren't all that expensive. Will have to order some and replace them

    Our new TT worked perfectly on the first fill, there after always show 1/3 full at least when empty then sits on 2/3 after using for a little bit but does show full when full.

    It's going to be a messy awkward job to do for little reward IMO... best of luck with it.

    That's what we do, shine a flashlight down the hole. If I flush the tank really well (like fill and drain 4 times in a row!) I can get the empty light on by itself. Almost the first flush lights up the second light. The next flush or two will light up the third. Then it'll take a few days for the full light to come on......
    I just don't trust those stupid lights.

    Yup, sounds like we are both proud of our flushing techniques, it makes a difference (ie, no tp pyramid). :poking:

    I got this camper in 2020, and towed it from Arizona to Ohio last year in 2021. The Taco made it but the trip was at times nerve racking

    We have a torn up one now :anonymous:

    I was backing it out of the shed last week and forgot about the crepe myrtle in the yard. Discovered some water damage under the damage. Insurance didn't give us enough to fix it since we don't have a roof rider for water damage (didn't know we had to have a separate rider for the roof , thought it was part of the camper). It is what it is, I'm gonna take it apart and fix it and also put a metal roof on it instead of the stupid rubber roof.

    That doesn't look like roof damage to me.

    The boards under the siding are bad from the roof leaking and us not knowing it. Didn’t know until I peeled the side back.

    Well our little tear drop (NuCamp T@G) has grown to small since we had twins. So wife and I picked up a No Boundaries 19.8. Not sure how much the Tacoma will tow it (access cab doesnt really fit two kids and a dog), but the Sequoia did just fine

    We are having a hard time even booking a camp site this year . Every place we go is either booked or dry camping sites only . Fridge is electric only :oops: going to make some calls today :fingerscrossed:
    And don’t forget the price of gas :annoyed:

    What PSI you run your tires at while towing your camper? Max? I think the stock tire's max is ~40 PSI. I have a WDH so it isn't squatting as much as it could, but still a decent amount of weight back there.

    My OR wranglers are max 51psi.

    I run 45 psi front 48psi rear. Makes a huge difference.

    With the WDH you should only be squatting a max of 1”. Sounds like it needs adjusting more…

    Definitely will be inflating, just was trying to decide how much. I didn't realize the stock Wranglers went that high, but just looked and verified they are 51psi max like you said. Those numbers look like a good start (figured I'd be going close to max but not quite) and having a bit less in front is probably a good idea too.

    With the WDH hooked up there is almost no squat, didn't mean to sound like it was some huge amount. I think I'm good there.

    Thanks!

    I got this Aliner Titanium 12 last year and towed it from Arizona to Georgia with no problem. I do miss camping in Arizona.

    It is. It’s also dented up so I’m not too worried about it.
