I would like to use this message to thank GoWesty for the help—unbeknownst to them—that they have always provided through the YouTube videos they publish regarding the mechanics and equipment of my T3. I also experienced this level of service a few months ago when I purchased an LED panel to monitor fresh water levels and auxiliary battery charge; I ran into configuration issues related to my fridge during installation and had to reach out to them several times for advice. On every occasion, they responded quickly and provided all the information I requested in a very friendly manner. In an era where everything is handled by AI, this kind of customer service is truly appreciated.

Very easy installation. And it is so much better than my tired original panel.

Easy fix had to adjust battery setting 10 minute fix 👍

I like the new LED Monitor Panel as the battery indicator LEDs are calibrated for a LifePo4 battery. Just so happens that I just bought GoWestys 100Ah LifePo4 that fits under the drivers seat and I'm happy with both units.

Straight forward to install. I would note, if your water tank is dry (like mine was when I did the install) the water side will flicker when you switch the switch on and then just be dark. Once I added a little water, the light showed empty.

Even extra nuts

Very happy with this replacement part- they even included an extra nut for the toggle switch just in case. Thanks, guys and gals!

Easy to install, works great

Stock unit switch was faulty and failed. New leds are brighter.

It works!

My old panel didn't function on the water tank side. It took me about 30 minutes following the included instructions and now everything works.

Does the job :)

Easy to install, good directions. The switch got broken off my old panel and this was the easiest route to fixing it :)

I will get there ... Given time.

So far all my GoWesty purchases have been well appreciated. Once life stops getting in the way I will fit this LED kit to my trusty 1980 VW T25, aka, Beryl as I trust from past experience your stuff is really damned good :-)
Gotta go feed my Maine Coon cat, Savannah, now ....
