I go through propane quickly in the winter when boon docking. We are drawing on it for heat and generator. If your fridge does not have a DC mode, turn it off before shutting down your propane. If you let it run without the bottles, the lines will be purged of LPG and take a long time to fill back up (causing relight problems). The amount of time the fridge is turned off during refueling will not cause temperature problems if you keep it closed.
I carry two 30 lb and two 20 lb bottles in my trailer and either size will fit in the Arctic Fox and Host. The AF required lifting higher to access the tanks, but the Host requires removing both tanks to get to the second one. If you want to make tank swaps easier, you can run the shorter tanks knowing you only have 2/3rds the supply. A slide tray for the bottles would be ideal in the Host, but it would require a deeper storage area and a bigger access door if you want to continue using the taller 30 lb bottles.
