Propane is propane. Tank size has no effect on usability.
x2 on this. The pressure in the big tank is exactly the same as in the smaller tank at the same (tank) temperature: it's the vapor pressure of LPG.
A large tank can work more effectively than a small tank, particularly in cold weather and/or with high propane usage devices. The larger tank has a greater capacity for keeping the temperature inside at a sufficiently high level since it can absorb more heat from the environment. For an RV and the size tanks you're talking about, the difference is academic at best; either one is plenty large enough, at least until the outside temperature is really, really cold, at which point neither will work well.
