rideadeuce Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) Installed these today game changer. Simple connection to Victron system. Now I can get rid of the gateway for SensorPush in the attic. Seamless integration with VRM for remote monitoring. Have to get a couple more for the MP2 inverter and battery bank bay.

I don't have Victron Comms or the BMV712, just a few sensors here and there. This is my Control Dashboard. 🤣 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

rideadeuce Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Nice. I have some Mopeka's coming tomorrow as well for the propane tanks. They also play nice with the Victron system, excited to have most everything going through the Victron VRM. Always switching between apps to monitor things. Still have a separate app for TPMS, LevelMate Pro, EasyTouch RV thermostat, and my Grilla Grill. Ha! A lot of batteries to change but no more gateways to deal with or use up energy. Do you find the Mopeka propane sensors accurate? 2 - Mike Brentwood, TN 2018 Elite II - Spirit of Adventure Hull #308 - 2016 Toyota Tundra Limited 5.7L Class IV hitch with 12k lb coupler Starlink, Cradlepoint cellular modem, Victron Multiplus II 12V 3000W, Ekrano display, Orion XS 50amp, Atmos 4.4 15k AC/12K Heat pump, Nova Kool 5180 fridge, Epoch 460aH x2, 520 watts solar, Custom rear bicycle rack, Alcan Springs, Bulldog shocks, Falken H/T02 tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We came home from 2 1/2 weeks to Utah and it was reading OK along the way and got down to 16%. Now it reads 51%! What-the! The 16% reading is likely closer, will only know when I fill, since a 30 lb tank fills at 6.8 gallons. During this first trip with Mopeka sensors, it often had a warning, re positioning of center. The Mopeka is a flat sensor disk mounted to the round bottom LP tank, go figure. When I fill the tank, I will carefully cut a 1/4” bead of VHB tape around the perimeter of the Mopeka sensor to mount it securely, while it has a magnet. Next time, I would save the $120, since it is so easy to use one tank at a time with the directional valve. However, if you want all the toys go for it. Taped into position (do this initially) it should perform. 😂 Edited June 11 by jd1923 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

Coastal Aggie Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I cant recommend the mopeka sensors enough, an absolute must have for winter camping and from the things ive heard there is no better product for the job. The issue with the level bouncing around is because they use sonar so when it gets low it has trouble determining where the level is but by then youre already down below 10-15% and its time to refill anyways unless you like waking up freezing in the middle of the night. Getting them setup properly helps but itll still start bouncing around when it gets low enough. calibrate the sensors on a perfectly level surface before attaching then stick onto the tank and use the same surface to adjust it to the right position. the magnets are strong enough that you shouldn't usually need to reposition them unless they really get knocked around hard 3 2018 F150 FX4 5.0v8 2022 Oliver Elite Hull #1285 2023 Oliver Elite Hull #1434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
