This caught my eye in the latest Motorhome magazine, a new kind of water gauge that reads in water remaining based upon usage. It's called the H2Flow H2F-FM water tank guage
Much like the battery monitors everyone says are better because they measure usage, that's what this does. You enter the starting gallons and through a flow meter it measures usage and calculates water remaining. Aside from knowing precisely how much water you have left, think of the other uses: how much water did that shower take while you were in there singing? How much water for other bathroom duties? How much did you use for doing the dishes?
One thing, apparently this is an Australian company, and the unit reads in liters. I've received no response from them after several email attempts; trying to find out if they'll ship to the US and if there's a version that reads in gallons. I think this could be a very slick add-on for those who boondock. Stated price in the magazine is $129 but stated web price is A$129 so might be closer to US$98 (Either way I think it's a good deal.) If someone else has better luck contacting them I'd love to know about it.
