Dual propane tank switchover valve question
My 2002 Adventurer camper has a propane regulator which does not feature a selector to choose which of the 2 tanks to draw fuel from. Is this a totally manual, non-switching system? ie: open 1 tank's ...

You can empty two propane tanks overnight if they aren’t full to begin with... they all run out some time.
Proper use of the truck camper entails driving it AWAY from where it’s snowing at 3 AM... but that’s just my warped opinion lol.
When I agree that driving away from extreme weather is the best use for TC (we drove away from 124F last summer), but proper use of switchover valve will never have 2 cylinders partly empty.
You choose what cylinder you want do draw from to start, when it goes empty the indicator turns red, what means the propane is taken from cylinder #2.
You take empty cylinder for refill, put it in and turn the switchover to cylinder #2, what will change the indicator to green.
Don't think this is rocket science.
BTW my Fleetwood has dual 7.5 gallons propane cylinders with float gauges on them. When the gauge will not show you last 1/2 gallon at the bottom, it will give you pretty good idea how much you have.
For those who have 5 gallon cylinders - Costco is selling the size with a gauge for about $30.
