Does anyone have any tips on how to fill the water tank to a set level without having to lift the bed up etc?

Is there any gauge available?

I am guessing you have the 30/35L factory fit tank filled from the outside via a petrol cap type filler.
I am on my 3rd van like this and use the following method.
- close all internal drain valves.
- add a couple of watering cans full of water.
- turn taps on to bleed system and get water running freely, through both hot and cold taps settings.
- continue filling up tank until you hear it glug and overflow and spurt out over your foot.
- put bucket under the waste outlet.
- when bucket is full of wastewater add another can full of water to the tank.
- two days before leaving site do not bother filling up the tank.

Alternatively you could fit a water level sensor.

Thanks and mine has the filler you are referring to along with one which enables you to pump water in.

Do you know of any level sensors?

These people are very helpful and should be able to provide the individual bits you need. I have used them for all my extra 12v bits. https://clearcutconversions.co.uk/produc...-indicator-kit/

To overcome the same issue we bought these two items. A meter and a connector to the water tank inlet. When it was time to leave we used a knitting needle or screw driver to push inwards the tank plug to release unneeded water. Makes life a bit easier.
