I will use the code listed and adopt and use the arduino to trigger the sensors of the current system.

Is this working in your MH?
That was my original plan: just light up the existing indicators using the new circuit. I then found a bluetooth module and figured I could do it with a phone without having to disturb the existing system.

Yes it works, however, if you hook up more than just the black tank you have to ensure that the signal wires for each tank are shielded against each other--otherwise you'll get some crosstalk and the level of one tank will affect the reading of the other.
