Not sure if I have a problem or “it’s just the way it works” and it’s been like this since we owned the coach.

When I check my tank levels, either in the coach or wet bay, I usually “cycle” through left to right. Battery, fresh, gray, black, LP. When doing this, the value showing on the tanks can be reversed. Including the propane.
EX: correct readings are; 38 fresh, 25 gray, 31 black, 66 LP.
What I sometimes get; 38 fresh, 25 gray, 66 black, 66 LP. Or some variation.
I think the readings are accurate enough just the misread. Toggling between or cycling through again gets the correct readings eventually.
Connections seem tight.
Question: unusual or normal?
2014 Aspire.

Very normal. Depending on where you push on each individual button you can inadvertently pick up the reading for the button beside it. Move your finger slightly left or right if you think you are getting a wrong reading and see if that helps.

I've had that too. The 709 series SeeLevel systems use a network that cannot multitask so if you have two panels, you can't use one at the same time as the other or else network packet collisions occur. Sometimes the network doesn't clear itself after pressing a button and when you press the next button it hangs up and display the wrong number. Sometimes waiting longer between button presses will allow the previous data packets to clear. The original 711/712 series that I used in our 2004 Bus didn't have that issue because that system was able to pass multiple packets at the same time. But the 709 series replaced it by the time we had our 2007 Bus and I still have that issue every now and then on our Cornerstone.

Thanks guys! Good to know. Guess these are as quirky/ finicky as the lights.

That is what I found. It depends on how quickly you are button pressing the display. If I move from one button to the other too fast, then the value I get is the same and the second is inaccurate. Just slow down on observing.
