Fixed tanks are generally larger than removables. I used to have a construction heater w 100lb tank and it was a real pain to take in to get refilled. On mine appliances are run with copper and black flexible hose.
I bought our MH out of province which is why the three safeties. Propane at that time was hooked up to run engine and appliances and that was illegal these days. The old flexible hoses were a green colour and really stiff which had to be changed. The Stainless steel pipe from rear of MH to rear of transmission was fine just needed to be fastened properly (they used nylon ties) From there to the valve of the propane system it is a heavy black flexible. Top part where it goes to the carb was rubbing on the underside of the doghouse so again had to be changed. Also had to put in an autostop valve on the tank and hydrotest it. I now have 2 20# tanks for appliances. Had to get a metal box made and lost some space in the bottom of the wardrobe for them. In the end it worked out with a new door on exterior with ventilation louvers.
Floor looks good and you are making pretty good speed. Right now I am finishing drywalling in our house and I took out all the old carpet and changing it to laminate flooring. I should have enough laminate to redo the floor in the MH.
