Propane...
We have dual propane tanks on the tongue, under a plastic cover... What's the easy way to check levels & not run out of propane..??.. Thanks... Nate

Watch the RED/GREEN indicator.......
When Green turns to RED then 'in service cylinder' is now empty (that would be the one lever is pointing to) and auto swap reg has changed over to other cylinder
Flip lever to other cylinder.....RED goes GREEN
Remove empty cylinder and go get it filled.
Repeat when Green goes RED...cylinder is empty...swap get MT one filled
Ditto.
I always run with just one tank turned on, and the selector valve set to that tank. If my furnace, fridge or water heater stop working, then I know I'm out of propane on that tank. After camping for a number of years, you get a pretty good feel for how long a bottle will last. Fortunately every time one bottle has run out of gas, I've been in camp, and heard the fridge keep trying to ignite, so I switched bottles.
I also take a sharpie pen and write on the bottle the date is was filled, and make a note on it if it's empty.
When both bottles are full, I always start with the left hand bottle. When it's empty, I switch over to the right bottle. If I continue using that side for a few more trips, I will typically fill both bottles at the beginning of the next season.
