In a short time of use, you will discover those digital sensors will become less than accurate. As you use your rig you will establish a feel to know your water level, LP and holding tank level without having to look at a sensor.
There is more than one way to use an rv. Some are hooked up to W/E/S/Cable where you can endlessly use water and sewer while others boondock off grid without hookups.
It’s then that you’ll need to be more careful in water consumption in relation to the tank sizes of your particular rv model. You need to approx ‘calculate mentally’ in what you have dumped into your holding tanks as you deplete your freshwater supply tank.
At that point you’ll be ‘self contained’ and you will get a feel to know your levels without pushing any buttons.
I always run with full freshwater. You never know when you might have an emergency and need to pull over to spend the night. You’ll need water.
