Where is the 2005 Landyacht water tank sensor

Crawled all around under our new to us 2005 landyacht 30,looking for the MicroPulse sensor but don't even see the tank. Filler is drivers aft side, see the Grey and black water sensor but where the heck is the water one?
Also, how to get to the back of the monitor? Does the front pop off some how?
Sorry for the newbie questions, but thanks!!!

In 2000 the water tank is under the bed and it's sensors are on the drivers side near the front, least amount of work to get to it would be removing the drawer on that side.
Unless you want to see the entire area the plywood on the top can be removed taking out about 6 screws, mattress would have to be held up while doing it.

Our fresh water tank is also under the bed. We have removed the screws to lift the plywood…it's not hard if you lean the mattress against the wall or pull it out.

Per the owner's manual: " A single sensor is installed on the sidewall of each tank, near the bottom, via a 3/4" female NPT spin in thread."
There is more information about the sensors & the monitor operation on pages H-9 & H-10. But, no advice on how to get to the back of the monitor. The manual does say to contact CATCON if not working properly.

Not sure if the above contact information is current as it's out of our 2005 Manual.

Thanks

Thanks, got it now, the manual download. Not much information in the manual for the MicroPulse, and three calls and two emails to them in Texas, no response, no joy. There is a five pages of really unhappy owners MicroPulse thread with some good info people have gleaned. MicroPulse now actually offers a replacement sensor for 52 dollars on their website , but I think I will try crimping a new rj11 connector on first, wish they had a better trouble shooting section in the manual. How to get the wires in the back of the monitor????
The airstream LY manual is terrific, thanks again. Trying to get our new baby shipshape

Yes, but waited to see if someone else with 2005 would answer.

If they didn't change mounting of monitor, it is pressed into large rectangular hole with raised section holding it in, I was able to get it out by pushing a credit card under finished edge and slowly applied pressure while bending, not a pleasant task due to the worry of breaking plastic if I was wrong;(

My fresh water seso is also flaky, I just have to keep track and refill frequently, but thanks for the info so I'll pull the under-bed sheet of plywood to check it out.

My clear water sensor in unreliable also. I just pull down the door at the foot of the bed and try to see the water level through the sidewall of the tank. Can't remember if I modified the wall under there so that I could see the forward wall of the tank, but that's how I check the level.
