Everything about water in a motorhome seems to be badly thought through, I have the whale system and have to say it works, but I also fitted filler cap fitted, makes much more sense, just put a hose in and wait for the tank to overfill at the tank vent, simple. I have a filler to hose lock stop connector a when near a tap use that and simply unplug it when water is full.
Have to say I do use the whale with a 25 litre with the whale pick up pipe when doing several days at a race circuit as moving the van to the tap just ain’t that simple, and if you do move some sod will take your place, especially if there’s a EHU nearby (seen this a lot at certain circuits)
Then the waste tank fills the shower, nope, simple mod stops this. A vent on the waste pipe located below the tank fill level means overfilling the waste just dumps the excess on the floor, generally (again at a circuit) just use a run off pipe or simply open the waste at night and let it run out down the pit lane.
Sometimes use a 25litre container to run the grey waste into, but not often.
It’s not rocket science, both mods done at home for just a few drinking vouchers.
Never use the gauges, just fill once each day.
Bit different on a campsite obviously, but if it’s a campsite it’s probably not me.
