Since it is a park model I assume it's going to be PARKED at an RV park. And not moved.
If this is the case forget the Trailer dealer, Call the propane dealer. Find out if they deliver to the park, Also talk to the park manager.
I have seen 200, 300, 400 pound tanks in some parks, but it's up to the park if they allow that size tank.. Also in the 100 pound size often you can "lease" a tank (Well two of 'em) from the propane dealer.. Then when one runs dry you call and the propane guy comes out and changes the tanks for you... (This is how I grew up.. 4 100 pound bottles outside the kitchen window and later 2 more at the milk-house when we upgraded to Grade A)
But the recommendation depends on
A: what the park allows
B: what the propane company delivers.
If you have to lug the tank to the refill station.. Then consider smaller, easier to lift, like 25-50 pound bottles.
