Propane tanks

Okay I have several questions and am going to post them as different topics in case others have these questions too and they don't just get lost in a general post.

Propane tanks....... I have 2 on the front of my trailer. I do not know how to tell how full they are. Can I put gauges on them? they seem to be linked so do I open both of them when we are going on propane or just one?

When you fill them do you have to take them off the trailer or can the fill station do it when we are on our way out while they are on the trailer?

I smell propane when I get up towards the tongue of the trailer, should I take the tanks and have them fixed or is that normal? It is not crazy overwhelming but I know I am by the propane tanks.

I think for now that is it for propane questions.
  • So how do you know how much propane you have?

    The tanks are off so that is why I am wondering why I smell propane.

    We are going out for a two week trip tomorrow but might be able to get them to a place when we stop in SoCal. The trailer is new to us and we are new to adventuring so I want to to it right. We will probably be needing to winterize the trailer when we get back. So I will be check that out soon. Right now just preparing for a trip.
  • Propane tank gages are pretty useless,
    Smell gas you have a leak! Turn the tanks off, and get the trailer to someone that knows what he is doing.

    DO NOT USE ANYTHING UNTIL YOU GET THE LEAK FIXED.
