I pulled off the cover and discovered that they didn't seal off the attic very well. So the a/c was pulling dust from the attic and through the intake and was starting to have some buildup on the coils. I filled in all the gaps with some 2" foam and pretty sure that should solve that issue. Will try it out this weekend.
Ugh ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/frown.gif "frown") Assuming the cover was taken off during the PDI, would one catch this issue?
No it was not. We did run the a/c and didn't notice anything. Besides you would expect a little trash first couple times. It was leaving a white dust all over.

See level gauges are great. Location and sensor selection were only challenges. Used two 720-ES sensors on front of fresh water tank. Stacked 6 segments and 5 segments. Use a 710-SS on backside of gray water tank. This required removing blank panel in front of storage tray and finally, used 720-JS (6") on outside edge near the rear , next to piping for black tank. This required pulling dinette paneling up. Have pics if you need. I think I cut 1 segment off this but would have to recheck. Used speaker wire and left original sensors intact since I couldn't really access the ones on fresh and black anyway.

Why couldn't you just use the existing wires. That's what I had in mind.

If you can reach where the existing wires go then you can. I didn't think I could reach the wires on the gray tank and wasn't really sure I could reach the fresh plus you have to get the new sensors close enough to wire ends to use. If you test fit and wire everything and hold new sensors in place with painters tape to test system then all should be good. Once you peel backing from 3m tape on sensor there is no adjustment. Also, even with painters tape, be real careful removing tape. There is a thin clear film on circuit board that has a tendency to try to lift from surface when temperatures are warm while pulling tape off. I just thought it was easier to run new wire and leave the old in place as a backup. Only downside to this is I had to find new home for display monitor.

Ok good to know. I just glanced over the situation. I can see the wires ok but getting to them may be harder than it looks.

I'd like to see what you did for the accumulator tank and did it solve the erratic on/off cycling of the pump. Also since my seelevel gauges are in the mail, any suggestions on that would be nice.

White sections of pipe were added to existing piping to relocate valves.

Also, someone asked about counter top extension. Pictures are mostly self explanatory. Spacer between bracket and shelf was is slightly tapered from front to back. Without this the shelf dropped about an 1/8" from level when in use. Wanted level smooth transition between counter and shelf. Also, magazine rack was lowered slightly to allow shelf to fit in closed (down) position.

And one additional picture related to seelevel install. Not the best images but I think you can get the general idea. Black tank photo taken before sensor added.

That's the same place I stuck my jack remote. Clean install but I'll forget about that one. Your not the first I've heard of it not working that well

Yes and the jack activation switch is just below ad forward of the remote. Got tired of having to open generator door to activate so moved it inside - made small box to enclose it.
