So it’s essentially 2 standard 5 gal “BBQ” tanks.

But, you must drive your entire rig to get the tank filled when you anticipate being close to empty
Vs
Travel trailers (and some RVs) that have dual side by side 5 gal tanks. When tank 1 is completely empty there’s a switch-over valve to start-up tank 2. Then you can remove tank 1, drive to the propane store and re-fill & re-attach

I like that method much much better because you always know where you stand.
Or install an Extend-a-Stay or similar manifold that allows you to run the MH system from a 20 Lb tank.

The other option which I just learned about from someone else on this forum is:
If you have an external low pressure propane quick connect on your MH just get a 20 lb tank with regulator and the correct quick connection and back-feed your MH low pressure system from the 20 lb tank and quick connect connection.
