I've had the unit for a couple months now and don't like the tank/electric control panel or HVAC control panel.

Tank/Electric Panel upgrade
I'm sure this has been asked an answered before.
I'm looking for recommendations on an upgrade for my RV panel. My panel has push buttons to see a 4 light display of capacity.
Push the battery button and the lights lite, 1 light for 1/4 charge, 2 lights for 1/2 charged, 3 lights for 3/4 charged, etc.
Same 4 lights are for each of the tanks capacity. I have 4 tanks, fresh water, black water, and 2 gray tanks (rear kitchen). Push the respective tank button and the lights lite to tell me how full the tank is.

I would rather see meters, gages, or at least a 3 times as many lights to represent capacity. Any recommendations or brands that stand out above others?

If it matters, my panel also has the pump switch, and both heater switches (electric and propane) in the same panel. 

HVAC control panel.
Can I use a programmable residential style HVAC controller? Any preferences?
 
Take a look at the SeeLevel 709 systems, they are much more accurate than the typical RV level meters.

https://www.garnetinstruments.com/products/709-seelevel-ii-tank-monitor-system/  They have a number of different variations, number of tanks, some include bluetooth, and others have switches for water pump, etc. on the same panel.

Here is a youtube video of someone installing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDffmhQ5RkM
 
We had the See Level installed soon after getting the coach, and have been very happy with the 4%/5% readouts. In other words, they'll tell us 45% or 96% or whatever, some steps being 4% and some are 5%.
