Tank Levels and Battery Charge Indicator
To the right of the monitor panel switches are the indicator lights for the battery charge level, the propane tank level, the
fresh water tank level for each of the two tanks, and the black and gray water tank levels. Press the button for each to see
the display. These will give you an approximate reading, to the nearest third, of how much is in each tank.
Roadtrek recommends that you keep a small amount of water in your gray and black tanks at all times. This will reduce the
likelihood of material sticking to the inside of the tank.
The four indicator lights for the battery are low, fair, good, and charging. Battery voltage dips under load; the greater the load
the greater the voltage dip. A battery under heavy load will show much lower state than one at rest.
The propane indicators will show full when the tank is at it maximum capacity. Because of the safety-related need for a vapor
space at the top of the propane tank, the maximum fill capacity is 80% of the volume of the tank. Your 38 liter/10 gallon
propane tank is full when it holds 30.4 liters/8 gallons of propane. There is another gauge directly on the tank that you can
see behind the propane fill door on the back bumper. This gauge has finer gradations and will give you more information
about your propane level than the indicator light display will.
