I did the volt meter installation that b team suggested, it turned out great:

How many of you get a funky reading from the monitor panel (water level and battery condition) due to the fact we are standing up, looking down on the panel....and it appears that a certain LED is lit, when in fact it is not but the one below it is shinning through the hole?
We have to bend over and get our head level with the panel to see what LED's are really lit up.
For example, your water is only 2/3 full, but the 2/3 LED is shinning through the top "F" window and we think the water is full.
Well, I came up with an idea...using felt, or in my case the fuzzy side of velcro (don't know if it's the VEL or the CRO) for dividers between the rows of LED lights, so now the window is only illuminated with the proper LED.
I don't know if I'm making sense so I'll enclose some pictures.
The first photo was taken from the top view (standing up) when the truck is plugged into shore power....and the water tank is 2/3 full. Notice how the FULL light on the water monitor stays blacked out...without any false reading from the 2/3 LED below it....even though the picture was taken from above....not level with the monitor panel.
The second picture is with the truck unplugged from shore power....note how the "CHARGE" light is now out, and totally blacked out...not showing a false green glow from the LED below.
I've included pictures showing the cut velcro strips and their placement on the circuit board.
Hope this makes sense. If not.....never mind.
