Default Remove tank for filling?

On the 2720 with a slide, and horizontal mounted propane tanks, can they be taken off to be filled or should they be left on and bring the whole TM to get propane filled? what is the best method ?

You will probably have to remove them. I have the same setup on my 3326. It's just one hold down bolt. Most propane places require the tank be in a cage on a scale when being filled.

Thanks Ken, is there a left and right tank , or I guess it will be self explanatory when I look for the hold down bolts.

The horizontal tanks are (supposed to be) identical. For filling, it is not a matter of preference. They MUST be removed and stood upright, or the OPD float valve will not work.

i agree bill, I think someone was off there game that day , about half a bolts width on one, not on the tm , but on the tank, only the back mounting point, if different , just it's on personality
