I agree with Lantley for the most part.
I normally check my tank levels as I'm preparing for a trip - along with the fresh and grey water tank levels and battery charges - and fill if either are low.
As I tend to camp away from everything, having to fill a propane tank mid-trip may mean a 1-2 hour drive for no other reason. Why bother if I can simply check a couple gauges before the trip and plan ahead.
I also do not have an auto changer, so if I am suddenly without propane, I just manually switch to the second tank.
I you want an even simpler visual, get a plastic slap bracelet. When one tank goes empty, slap the bracelet on its handle and switch to the second tank. Now you know which one to fill before the next trip.
