Propane Mystery?

Ok I got question for the GPGs (Grand Propane Gods)

So today, I decide to check on my propane, preparing for a trip in 3 weeks.
My tank specifications per manual says 18 gallons and 76 lbs. I have 2019 Winnebago Sunstar 29VE.

The inside gauge LEDs read 1/3 of a tank remains.
The actual tank outside had indicator pointing straight up indicating half way full.
I am in Dallas Texas
Outside Temperature 87 degrees

So I figure why not go fill it up. I drive to a local U-haul who charges $2.99 / gallon. If someone has a better price, I will listen?

THe U-haul Manager comes out and fills it up; but it is only 4.3 gallons!!!

I asked him was he sure and he was confident it was full. So I go inside and the LED gauge is now reading Full, I go to the tank and it too is reading Full all the way to the right.

I asked the Manager how could it be because I have 18 gallon tank, and he says maybe I only have a 8 gallon tank?

The last time I purchased propane was 2/15/20. I bought 7 gallons then. I am pretty sure the LED gauge was reading Empty then; but I was NOT out of propane.

Any idea of what is going on?

RV USA confirms my specifications.
