Any Guidance would be helpfull.

We just returned from a 5 week RV tour of the Grand Circle route and all of the National Parks. Most of the campgrounds we stayed in were over 7000 ft.
I began having problems with my propane at those altitudes. The oven wouldn't light. The fride would not run on gas, and no gas hot water. At first it though gas system was empty, but that was not the case, i still had 1/3 tank of propane. There didn't seem to be enough pressure in the system at those altitudes to supply the gas appliances.(makes sense now Boyles law) I had the tank filled to tne max allowable pressure. Problem solved. The system will not push enough gas at altitude when 1/3 full. If you're camping at sea level 1/4 should be fine, but as you go up in altitude you'll need to keep the tank over 1/3 full. it was our first extended trip in our rv and I learned so much on this trip
