Propane question
My fifth wheel has two tanks like most, if I put the knob in the middle and not right or left will it choose the full tank when the other goes empty?

If the regulator indicates red you are below half capacity and just go fill the cylinder indicated by the lever. Move the lever to the other cylinder at some point in the fill process. You will never run out. Check the indicator more often during heavy use.
Haven't found an easy/accurate way to determine the level of the propane in the tank BUT you can tell which tank is empty by tapping on it with a hammer or screwdriver. The empty tank will have a much higher pitch sound and, of course, be much heavier if you try to lift it.
