    Refilling 20 lb Propane Tanks vs Upgrading to 30 lb for Winter Travel

    Getting ready to head south for the winter, rig came with 2 20lbs tanks instead of 30 lb ones. One tank empty and other about half, would you all recommend unhooking both tanks at the same time and refilling or one at a time. Was thinking about getting new 30 lb ones but would be a tight fit. Thanks
