Steven P Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I've never liked that I cannot see my clear 90 elbow at night without a flashlight when dumping. While replacing my stripped water reel gear, I decided to upgrade the lighting. Removed the original light and added 2 waterproof LED strip lights. One in place of original and other on the bottom of the gray tank. Now I can see all I want to. Tied into original wiring but made it where I can remove my panel without the wiring being in the way. Pics of new don't seem to show the true brightness and they are not super bright, but plenty bright for the job. oldNew upbottom of gray tank. can see freshwater level and 90 elbow.

Bob Jones Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Nice, Any chance you got a link to those LED strips? My Dad finds his instrument cluster a bit dark and wanted me to put a light in it. Try as I might, I could not find a 'normal' LED strip. Either I searched for the wrong key word, I don't know, but I would appreciate a pointer 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't checked, our O'Reillys has some there too.

Bob Jones Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Yes, the cluster is too dark for his eyes and it makes it hard for him to see the gages so he's been after me to make it brighter. The idea was to put LED strip lights above it. Odd, I searched for LED strip lights and found big ones only. It's a new Ford Chassis motorhome. I'm not sure if it has bulbs or if they could be upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J A Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Your BEST friend for an all around flashlight for many uses is a head band type. 1 in the toad, and 2 in the coach. Keep 1 in the bedroom. THe other at a primary need point of use. Edited January 1, 2022 by Paul A. grammer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Is that a standard Sani-con turbo head? I have the early Sani-con model, and the head doesn't look anything like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same one and have looked at the Turbo, which has a larger pump and larger hose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks! I could use a replacement as the plastic threads on mine are beginning to strip. I'll see if I can find that style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Hutto Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I don’t think it’s still available. The part number for the replacement is Sanicon part number 70400. Lots of places list them, but no one seems to have them in stock. The new ones look like a single piece of injection molded black plastic. Mine looks like it was made from off-the-shelf pvc parts. I’ll try to get a better picture…. You might be able to make one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works fine but someone must have cross threaded an extension hose fitting onto the end, and damaged the plastic threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
