THe whole running out of LP issue is overblown. There is no need to constantly monitor or check your LP level.
Leave one tank on and one tank off. When the on tank runs out simply switch the full tank and refill empty tank.
Worst case scenario is tank runs empty in the middle of the night and you wake up cold! I only use my furnace as supplemental back up heat and heat primarily with space heaters. Its been quite a few years since I have run out of lp in the middle of the night. typically I discover the fridge won't work on gas and switch tanks.
If you allow auto switchover system to work as designed the tanks may switch without you realizing it, potentially leaving you with 2 empty tanks and no lp.
While our usage is different most Rv'ers don't use lots of lp to warrant all the gauges and monitoring.
I typiaclly refill my tanks at some point once a year, with that in mind there is no need for me to monitor tanks weekly or even monthly.Just let the tank run out and manually switch it when necessary.
