EDIT--ok is leaving the gas on something you learned the hard way for even same day, or does anybody actually know from doing it, whether it will be ok shutting it off and then turning it back on the same day????? Thanks.

I am hoping the lines won't get air in them after just a few hours on/off with the big tank--ie same day.
The big tank is on the curb side forward. Next aft is the fridge then the furnace. Over on the driver's side is the stove and forward of that is the WH. I don't know where they are in any daisy chain, but in today's case and the earlier time, the stove top with four burners worked first, right off.
Today, the fridge worked next, then the WH. Not sure the furnace being last was that it might have worked earlier if I had discovered the trick with that switch outside earlier.
DW is kind of stubborn. Been married since 1966, so IMO not much chance to change her mind. :)
Maybe a chance to convince her since there is no flame unless the appliances are on. Drive with them all off. But I think she is concerned about a crash which then has propane all over the place and then it catches fire.
