Propane tanks on 5th wheel
Just got a 5th wheel and wondering - do you remove the propane canisters to refill or can it be done while they are in the trailer?

This. What I was told by the propane service I use is that they pressure test new tanks with water and they never get all of it out so if you don't purge the first time the two liquids separate and the water can cause rust damage on the inside.
They keep a few bad examples at the pump to show customers what not to do, the other point he made is the plastic wrappers they put on the exchange bottles, he said it's a great place for condensation and then surface rust, the wrapper says to leave it on but the man says to take it off.
New tanks have to be purged correctly ONCE, then filled with propane by weight.
