I have 2 propane tanks on my TT and have no idea how full the tanks are. They can be removed and weighed but would like to be able to glance at it and know.I have read that the after market gauges are not accurate since pressures basically stay the same no matter how full the tanks are.The adhesive strips would be ok, are they accurate?Any suggestions?

After market guages are not that accurate. Weight is your best bet. I open one tank at a time. When that is done I close and open the other filling the empty next time out. I date them but not sure why.

Its not like I will be out for weeks at a time in cold weather. Typical usage will be weekends in the warmer months.

I learned to keep one tank closed and full from having both tanks empty one cond December at 2 a.m. Woke to an arctic blast from my furnace. You never forget those lessons.

We leave one closed. When you run out with one tank your at 1/2. Fill the empty before the other runs out.

Release the strap and rock the tank. You'll get used to how it feels when full vs. not full.
