Ran out of propane in TEN DAYS!?

If you RVed before full-timing, you know how the twin tank regulator works and how the red/green thing acts.

( You can leave it pointing at the first tank, now empty, and it shows red. Meanwhile you are sucking from the second tank. By the time you swap the lever over to get the first tank filled, so now you have green, the second tank can be half empty. Yes, some RV dealers are not very careful about what they do to you.)

You could have already been on the second tank with the lever pointing at it (wrong procedure!) but the first tank was empty and not filled, so all you had was one tank partly full.

Hard to know without being there at the time. IMO get both tanks refilled and start over one more time to know what is really going on.

Check the red/green every morning as a routine, and see how long the one tank gets you before you need to refill it while already on the second one. Once you know that for sure, you can act accordingly.

If you are seasonal in one spot, I have seen rigs doing that with a giant propane tank alongside, and they have a truck come by every so often to refill the tank--just like a stick house with propane.

EDIT--Goodness, you can't full time on a pair of 20s!! A pair of 30s would at least be better. (Might have a height issue with a taller tank up front if the front of the trailer slopes forward down there.)
