Propane fill stations require CYLINDER removal for refilling and the switch-over valves don't hold unused side sealed, so I always had to turn propane off for any tank refilling.
My tanks are side to side, but still pita to remove, but to avoid hassle of shutting everything off and then bleeding the air, I removed 1 hose from the switch over and have only 1 hooked up, allowing me taking the other for refilling at convenient time.
Also I had to replace hose between switch over valve and camper, so made new one 6' long, just in case I would have to use standard cylinders standing on the ground.
