switching to dual propane

My new trailer came with a single propane bottle setup. I am planning to switch to dual bottles. Is there anything hard about that?

I think I need a new rack, a switchover valve, and a new cover. Anything else?

Are some switchover valves also regulators, or do I need to keep the one I have?

Do you actually use a lot of propane? Just curious. My TT has two 30lb tanks, and we've never emptied one of them in one season. But... we only go out usually a couple weekends in the fall, when we mostly use the heater in the TT which gobbles propane.

You'll also need a double holder, a rod, and a large wingnut to secure the new load. Maybe a 30 or 40 pounder single would be easier if height isn't an issue?

This is the switchover valve that I recommend. It is also a regulator, so you don't need your current one. Other than that, you about have it covered.
