conversion kit
I have a 2018 Hummingbird travel trailer. It has one propane tank. I would like to convert to a two tank propane system. Has anyone done this? What is involved in doing this and where did you get the ...

Planned on doing the same. After pricing the parts and looking at the labor, I found a cheaper, simpler method to have more propane.
I swapped my 20# tank for a 30# tank. Only the cost of the tank and a fill. Same as having the 20# tank but taller. Considered the 40# tank but that would be top heavy in the existing bracket. For extended travel, I’ll throw the old 20# on my rear carrier.
Empty propane tanks decently priced at tractorsupply.com and had free shipping, mailed to my home. My local Tractor Supply has a propane tank fill station, so you only pay for gas received. Only minor PITA is the 30# tank is taller than my truck tonneau cover, so I braced it in my back seat floor area.
So bottom line, gained 50% more attached propane for well under $100 with no labor.
I think having a few of those 5# tanks would be great for a backup if you run out but those suckers are $$ for what you get.
