winterize..remove propane tanks???

i was reading northstar truck campers on FB. it had list of what to do with winterizing your camper. one was remove the propane tanks. really? I never did that. do you guys do that and why?
  • I use the "Winter" period to take the camper propane tanks home and use the remains in the tank for the bbq and smoker. Come camping season, the tanks either get topped off of refilled completely.
  • I don't remove them,.and in fact have accidentally left them on over the winter. Haven't had any problems.
  • In 28 years I have never done more than turning off the valves.
  • I do make sure the valve is turned off and I used to disconnect it, but never removed.
