Only one is going to go empty at a time.
When Indicator goes from GREEN to RED.....swap indicator lever to other cylinder
Then remove the empty one and go get it refilled.
TWO 30# cylinders (14 gallons) will last a long time
FTng we went 6 weeks on ONE 30#
Pressure inside cyliders doesn't change a lot until almost empty
Overthinking the issue.
We've been using this method for 10 years now, works GREAT for us! One tank valve open, one closed. When tank "A" is empty switch to tank "B" and when it's convienent, get tank "A" refilled. Old Biscuit is spot on!! 30# tank will last a good long time unless you're running the "h" out of your furnace! :B

Old Biscuit has it right both tanks on when the indicator changes to RED flip the leaver to the now in use tank, and take the other to be filled. Had tanks filled while camping many times.
To the poster with the slide out tray, we had one on our King of the Road, loved that setup! The tray was full extension PLUS about 2” dry easy to pull the back tank.
If you leave one closed and you run out at 2:00am on a cold rainy night you might change your mind, especially if in your cold wet dash to open the valve and you don’t get any propane!!
