About
The Lippert LP Tank Sensor is a purpose-built smart sensor designed for RV owners who rely on liquid propane (LP) for heating, cooking, and other onboard systems. The sensor continuously monitors the level of propane in your tank and transmits that data wirelessly to the Lippert OneControl app on your smartphone or tablet, giving you instant visibility into your fuel status without manual checks. Installation is straightforward — the sensor attaches directly to the LP tank and pairs with the Lippert smart RV ecosystem. Once connected, users can view real-time percentage readings, set low-level alerts, and track consumption trends over time. This eliminates unpleasant surprises like running out of propane mid-trip, especially in remote campgrounds far from refilling stations. The sensor is engineered to withstand outdoor environments, with a durable, weather-resistant design suited for travel and varying climate conditions. It integrates natively with other Lippert connected components such as slide-outs, awnings, leveling systems, and more through the OneControl platform, enabling a unified smart RV experience. Ideal for full-time RVers, weekend campers, and anyone who depends on LP for day-to-day comfort, the Lippert LP Tank Sensor delivers peace of mind and smarter resource management on every trip. It is sold as a standalone accessory through the Lippert store and authorized dealers.
