We have the two 20# tanks. They came with the trailer as ordered by the original owners but we would have opted for the 20# if we had completed the build sheet. I had back surgery 1-1/2 years ago and would be hesitant to lift the 30#-ers. I can lift and replace the 20# tanks without need of a step stool / ladder (so I don't need to carry one). We have one foot in Michigan and the other in Colorado. I have multiple 20# tanks at each house for grills, smokers and heaters and I can easily swap out tanks. I also prefer the smaller tanks for tongue weight as we carry our generators in the front storage tray. The only reason I would consider 30#-ers would be if we regularly did long trips off-grid in cold weather.

Mike, I was going to call the service department again but July has been a hectic month with company or camping. Plus we've been at our Colorado house and by the time I get to troubleshooting it has been after service department hours. I just thought / hoped that somebody on the forums might have a quick answer to the fuse question. It should be easy to manually open / close the valve by removing the motor mechanism. It is a gear drive that engages the valve and is mounted by two bolts. Then the valve is accessible. That's my plan if I can't get to full solution before we leave for Michigan this weekend. And for anyone else trying to diagnose the same issue, the knowledge of hindsight is that the apparently sealed box that holds the switch isn't. Carefully pry the back panel and it pops out. Then you can see and test the connections without removing the rocker switch itself. The joys of self-exploration. Thanks, Scott

The auto drain valve on our 2021 LE II is not working. It's not actually the drain valve but is used to prevent the gray tank from sloshing up into the shower pan while driving. The switch is in the closet. The light does not go on and the valve motor / mechanism does not engage. Oliver service said that if the light doesn't turn on, it probably doesn't have power to the switch. I checked and that is the case. The manual and the documentation from the manufacturer (Barker) says there is an inline fuse. Does anyone know where that fuse is located? I don't believe it is in the wiring inside the closet as I've carefully pried apart the flex tube and don't see or feel anything other than wires. The wires and tube go into the inner wall and, I assume, under the bathroom sink. Also, in removing the switch to check for power, I inadvertently disconnected the wiring at the rocker switch. I'll have to get a wiring diagram from service or Barker unless someone has experience and can help to determine which wires connect to which terminals. Thanks, Scott Johnson

Ralph, I noticed the same issue on our 2021 LE II (Hull 760, also the Truma and also low miles). Our heater seems firmly in place so I'm going to wait until we get home and find a sturdier strap. But interesting that we're not the only ones. Scott Johnson
