I used to run a pair of 30 pounders on our previous Spree, now have dual 20 pounders on our current Coachmen, yet haven't ever come remotely close to ever being without propane. Used sequentially, I always have a full second tank on hand while the first is in use so why would I care how much propane "exactly" may be in the in-service tank?
It seems like you would care "exactly" about the level in your final/last in-service tank.
I watch the level in our single 60 lb. (18 gallon) tank carefully, as we camp out West a lot and are not always only a hop-skip-and-a jump away from propane ... if I even know where propane sources are at any particular time.
We also like to think of our RV as a smaller but portable extension of our brick and mortar house ... so we keep our RV coach's interior temperature no less than 60 degrees at night - the same as our house.
Those two requirements mean that I need to know what's going on with our propane level at all times - otherwise we'd have to run the generator almost 24/7 to keep the refrigerator cold and the RV warm until we could find propane somewhere.
The OP may be similar in their camping situations and desires.
