With two tanks, there are two different types of control valves/regulators that I am aware of. Both types feed everything in the TC that uses propane. Both types feed into a "Y", which has a single outlet.
One is a manual valve. You turn the valve to the tank you want to use. When select a tank, you disconnect the other. There is no gauge.
The second type has an automatic change over. You select the primary tank. When it is empty, it will automatically change to the second tank. This control valve/regulator has a gauge that will turn red if the tanks are empty.
My TC is a 1988, and had a manual. I upgraded to an automatic. I always run my fridge on propane, except when in storage. In storage I use 120-volts.
As for removing the tanks, do not use pliers. As suggested, go to a propane supplier or RV shop, with your TC and have them to show you the process.
