Not the poster, but, depending what RV you get, consider.... after dark, raining, cold, propane tank goes empty, if you have two tanks, you did not turn the valve "on" on one. If MH and only one tank, you are out of propane. Now, do you go out in the rain and take tank(s) to be filled, or just turn on heat pump... your call.
