  • Has anyone installed a Simarine monitoring system?

    It's getting good reviews from the van community. Really interested in the phone integration with tank gauges, propane, level sensor, etc. Wondering how installing the tank sensors went for anyone who has used the system.

    This is the first that I have seen this product. Looks pretty cool to be able to monitor several items drawing 12 v dc power to see what item is drawing what power. I have the Victron battery monitor that only tells me the total draw, I have to turn on each item to see the change. I would imagine that for someone who needs to be very closely monitoring their usage this might be a good option. It might also help in trouble shooting if an item suddenly starts to draw an unusual amount of power.

      NickinCO -- bellis and applewpb are the two that come to mind regarding integrating tank sensors along with other tech (including the battery monitor). I'd be interested in a comparison of the sensors utilized if anyone takes the time to review the difference between the Victron and Simarine.

      The thread I'm referencing is here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...ank-monitoring
      Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, we have nothing to gain should you choose to purchase a product or engage a service we discuss on this forum.

        I looked at those and howson linked the thread above. I like the looks of them - but will have to do some reading to remember why I didn't go that route. It may have just been I was already in a Victron ecosystem.

        Let me know if you have any questions or if I can assist.
