The Best System We Found for Monitoring Liquid Levels in our Skoolie!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- The "SeeLevel II" is truly the best liquid measuring system we found for our Skoolie! We had already installed TWO different liquid measuring systems, both of which FAILED long before we ever even moved into the bus. By comparison, the SeeLevel II was by far the easiest to install, and the price was around the same or less than the other failed systems we had tried. Now we can easily see the status of our pump, our liquid waste level, and our fresh water lever at the touch of a button!

About Us:
Hi! We are Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40' school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty!
We're building a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible! In other words, Bussy will not be parked in our driveway, waiting for weekend or holiday getaways... when we finish the build, we'll be packing everything we're keeping into the bus and driving away from this old house forever!
We plan to be boondocking the majority of the time, so you'll see that reflected in our choices throughout the build (100 gallon water tank, composting toilet, solar power system, etc). We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, throughout the Skoolie Build, and to Infinite Adventures Beyond!
Mike & Kerry
You’re clearly brilliant. The whole system was way over my head.
I laughed so hard when you told Mike he was a professional looser. Hilarious! Kerry you are the professional finder of all lost things.
Truly honored to learn from your experience and wisdom! Am just in heaven with all the new things I’ve learned from your power duo!! Looking forward to your surprise! May heaven shine down on you both always! Can I just pause,and say , that your videos have kept me building today ! With zest😎knowing I am not the first one to get thwarted by the many mini obstacles that arise~nothing’s stopping me now! I’m inspired by your magic! 😎🤙🏻 Hugs from Minnesota! 🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 There is no greater power on earth than the determination of intentional living! Luv ya both n many accolades for all the talent you so graciously share for the world to grow! The world is a better place for people like you !👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
you got ants dude
lol. I saw those too. But since everyone has ants these days at first I couldn’t tell if they were theirs or mine 🤣
"And that's how you get ants." Archer
Nice work Mike
I keep seeing little ants running around and it's making me itch like they are on me. You my freind have ants lol..
Some boric acid based bait would take care of that without harming them or the kitty.
Hey Mike, I’d bend that metal support strap you cut away from the tank (both sides). Road vibration might start to wear a hole. That cut off wheel leaves pretty sharp edges.
Or put some type of insulation in them.
Stir fry for breakfast??!! ME TOO!!
Cool, "Stir Fry Bro"
So cute that grandson u yours. Mike you have nerves of steel. I was holding my breath when you were going up and down pikes pick. I have you thought of adding a bypass hose to the middle of the front window for deforsting.
👍🏻❤️ saving for future install info 👍🏻. And yes Kerry you are incredibly artistic, never doubt that. 👍🏻❤️
Nice monitor systems well done as you always do. We are also enjoying watching the line of Ants. Try using diatomaceous earth around your tires. Hopefully that should help. Helps keep bugs of all kinds away. Ask your our neighbor with the pool if you could have some
All of those 🐜 would drive me crazy!!
Hope they get rid of them before loading food and hitting the road. Yikes!
Amazing job as always guys. Can’t wait to see you guys move in and see how life treats you on the road.
Great video of a system that seems so easy to install and use. No worries about problems with sensors inside of a black tank and having to clean that out all the time. Thanks for walking us through the install. I really like the simple cut off tabs, just seems like a well thought out product.
Can't wait to see what new adventure is coming to the outside of Bussy.. 😁
There are SOOOO MANY things that are GREAT about your channel . But the one thing that has helped me most with my Little build is All your research and product links ..
And Kerry the BACON 🥓🥓🥓 Tip is great UMMMMM BACON 😋😋😋 .......👍👍👍 ....... THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 😁😁😁
Easy Peasy self-Adheasy was one of the best
You should also run the diagnostics and record the number for each sensor, for future comparison.
Woman, put your bacon on a cookie sheet with a little bit of side edges. Just lay them out flat and cook. 350 degrees at least 12 mins or more until you get it to where you like it. No more scissors. You can cook the whole package as a rule. Love the videos. Keep them coming. Can't wait to see your first time out in Bussy. 🚌 🥓 💖
I do this, but the scissors trick is a good tip!:)
Thanks for another great video one thing I can't figure out I've been watching skoolie videos for years, and yours is by far one of the most helpful fun-loving and enjoyable to watch, I would have thought you had a few hundred thousand subscribers it just don't get it, I know it's not because of you guys ,you're great.
Thanks Sean
You do great work! Thanks for sharing another great video!
Every RV I've ever owned I've had problems with the readout on the level of the black water tank because of toilet paper getting hung up on the float system used to indicate the level because the float is inside of the tank ! If this system you just installed on the bus continues to work correctly I'm going to install the same brand system you just did in my RV. Thanks for sharing !!! Love yawls videos, excellent !!!!!!! TGBTG ( To God be the glory ), stay safe and safe travels to you both plus Momma Sita !
Hey , you got ants in your bus they look busy, maybe nesting in your roof or somewhere guyz ;)
"Scooter" in East Texas sez…regarding your electric closet, this old school Sailor thinks 'Lectric Locker might be a suitable name…arrrgh! It's really coming together, y'all!
That's the same tank level sensor I chose for my ambulance tiny home conversion! I'm super happy with it! Great choice!
I'm going to guess you guys are putting on a awning that's one of the only things i can think of i haven't seen anywhere else. keep up the good work guys pretty much everything i think i may what to add to my rig that were building you guys put it on yours, so all i have to do is just copy you its great :)
get her Mike
I snuck out of work to check out the vid, nice job, who would have thought about water levels
SOOOO HELPFUL!!!! Thank you!!!!
ants!
Our used 2014 Airstream had the SeeLevel II Tank Monitor system and it worked perfectly. When we purchased it’s replacement Airstream it had the old MicroPulse Tank Monitor system and didn’t work for the previous owners, so I purchased and replaced it with a SeeLevel II Tank Monitor system. I’m very happy with it,’s performance.
Hi Mike, Hi Kerry, Good to see you both again and I am glad you both are well, another great idea Mike going with that tank measurement guage, all these things just add to the peace of mind you will have knowing that what you have built will work for a very long time to come.. Stay safe both of you and have a good weekend, I will be thinking of you sorry you are at work Mike, hope the time goes by without any problems, stay safe and I will look forward to seeing you both in the next one. Much love to you both..
I would be curious to find out how the self-stick tape is going to hold up on the black tank since it is outside and exposed to the elements. And for the record, I think Kerry did an excellent job on this video even though we didn't get to see her pretty face!
You didn't watch all the way, did you? 😁
Have you ever tried the lever-nut type of wiring connector? They’re particularly useful where one might have to make subsequent adjustments.
11:12 🥶 Oh, that’s harsh.
ants up the frig....... the little bugers
Hey Mike and Kerrie! I’m like Mike in that I can eat ANYthing for breakfast! Like, spaghetti, chili, home made soup, whatever! As long as my gut is full it’s happy and not particular! LOL. Great job, Mike, on the water sensors! Kudos! Y’all just don’t make enough videos as far as I’m concerned! But, I ‘do’ appreciate the ones y’all put up though, as, I know what it takes to do the editing. Always happy to see y’all pop up in my notifications! Stay safe and stay outta the sun as much as possible. Love you guys.
You got ants in the bus.
ANTS!!! - Lots of them @ 16:20
What’s up with all of the ants 🐜
Could you put together a video dedicated to the water system you have?
cook bacon with water in the pan..... just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.... (p.s. it wont splash all over the place either) then when the water is evaped you will be left with crispy bacon!!!
give it a try ;)
Mike, check the amp rating of that switch is capable to run the current for the pump. If in doubt, chuck in a relay. Cool system though.
10 Amp and the pump is rated at 10 amps too!
Pretty cool, but you need to heat them wire terminals that have heat shrink built-in!
We enjoy watching your channel. My husband wants to know where you got the ram and pedal you use to lock the piece of wood when you drill the pocket holes?
Your next outside project? I guess neon lights on the outside.
Great solution
you probably can hack up some ultra sone or laser distance meter , mounted against the roof of the tank facing dow to the waterlevel
Funny you would say that. That was system number 2 that we didn't go into because Kerry said I was too long winded! 🤣🤣
I have been watching since you first teased out the arduino coded system. I think it even had a cool steam punk screen display on a tablet (but I may be forgetting). Anyway, this is a great system and probably saved you hours. Good product. I just googled it, and will likely follow your plans here.
Really curious how this works on the ‘outside’ of the tanks, does it depend on the thickness/material they’re made of? What if it gets really cold? I want my drinking water tank in marine stainless steel, guess that wouldn’t work... 🤔 thank you for the detailed videos. I would argue with that handy men are very creative indeed, as some artists are very pragmatic in their thinking as well! 👌🎨🛠
did she call you a looser????? no! just kidding... You guys are so awesome
G'day Guys I reckon that you've probably done this but I've seen other conversions and their fresh water goes through two inline filters and sometimes three they use the canister type, because you don't know what the quality of shore water is. You probably already have them it was just a thought, fantastic idea fore the levels of the tanks and and you can see them from inside the bus and it's not made in China! John
We are going to have external filters for the water going into the bus!🙂
What kind of couch do you guys have? Love this new system. Recouping from DBL bypass surgery. Can't wait to get going again.
Get better man!!! We bought it at a furniture store. Spent hours and hours searching for the couch we needed more than the couch we wanted.
One step closer y’all any dates for a shake down camping trip being planned ?
We're talking about it.
I didn't see any ants... but ....I did see the amazing job with the water level system...!! and Kerry... if it helps any... I have separate scissors for everything...!! LOL
You have ants in the bus. I saw them over the fridge FYI....
DID YOU SEE ALL THEM ANTS IN YOU BUS
Are you using your shirt to drop a hint again? Surf board racks on the outside somewhere?
Yikes! Ants! What the heck?
yeah number one comment I wasn't gonna put monitors on my tank but you know what that looks so easy I probably will now thank you,✌❤🤙👨🍳🎅🚌
him "what did we pay for this"
her " i dont know you never tell me"
Sounds like my bus building adventure!!! lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you see the ants at 16:28... no uncles
This video made me itchy lol
How’s Mamacita’s under the bus porch coming along? I’d like a update please.
Tammy,have missed an entire video and our feelings are hurt.🤣🤣🤣
It's always important to know how much s*#t ya got!! I won't mention the ants.LOL!! And by the way, LOVE the farmers tan Mike!! LMAO!! You plan on anything special for the "here's Johnny" window in the bedroom door?
Yes! Kerry is going to do a custom stained glass window there!
@@BussyMcBusface hoping we get a step by step on that!
I think there would be public outrage if we didn't!!!😂
We have so many detailed videos, that's another project I'm looking forward to seeing!!!
This comment actually referred to the lamps you modified during the TV install and I wanted to know what you modified on the lamp to use the led bulbs. Thanks
I just skipped any electronics and wired direct to the switch.
Also, I highly recommend you watch the video. I wired the lamps with 12v not 120vac. That part is hugely important.
Flex seal still doing good?
Awesome video - question tho with 2/100 gallon fresh tanks which tank do you think we would put the tape on?
Are they tied together? If so, it really won't matter. They might make a multiple fresh tank model as well so I would call Garnet and ask them.
@@BussyMcBusface They will be tied together as 1 unit. Thank you so very much - we'll call next week. :)
What water pump did you use, I don't remember that video.
Do you have a propane gage on the inside too?
Ant problem?
How do the sensors detect the level of liquid in the tanks?
Capacitance.
I was thinking magic.... But that works... 😂
The black tank strip is not
Huh?
OK, I SAY COOL BEANS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I LEARNED THAT SAYING. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA?
😁
The eighties!
You must live in california you have ants
Looks like you have some ant problems. They have been really bad this year.
Seriously bad...😡
Great post! I believe you'd like my videos too. Keep up with your great work! 🧡💞
