It was not they did not need to be removed on previous trailers it was that they were able to each be removed without disconnecting or moving the other tank because they were side by side and could run off the full tank while filling the empty. Never mentioned filling while the tanks are in the camper , the reason for the extra use of the propane is because we are off the truck at the beach for three weeks 3 times a year, I think a longer pig tale on the front tank would allow it to be set on the ground while off the truck while refilling the back tank and keep things running I have seen 4 foot long pig tales. I don't have the height to add a tray which would be the best solution in fact it is pretty tight getting a full tank in the compartment in the front position . Thanks for the ideas and help

Ohh .. got it, a little dense- removing rear tank while front in use, and not disrupting flow.
Longer hose to allow setting front tank on ground to retrieve rear tank would work- if you have room for the extra hose-I dont. Probably take an 8' hose on ours. Seems might be difficult getting tank back in with that much hose attached. For the few minuets it would take, shutting down to swap tanks, retrieving rear empty I dont see issue. system will re pressurize pretty quick.
But, as convenience if the auto switch-over is pointing at front tank- it will be the one that empties first, (I also keep rear tank closed until needed). Then switch changover to rear tank, removing front to refill.
That would give you 3 tanks without removing rear-with one refill.
Or indefinitely as other have mentioned, without removing rear tank, if you keep switching to front.
