As an exercise in weight control, I am asking if it is a good idea to leave one of my two propane tanks at home when traveling. One tank is more than sufficient for my needs. I am asking if it will harm the changeover regulator or leak propane with one tank absent. Seems like an easy way to shed a few pounds. NO, I am not that close to my ratings, just curious.

Tom,
Nobody has mentioned the two that I have had experience with....
If you are going to leave the tank fitting bare, you best get a cap for it. Little crawly things love to go t in there and make nests. When the remnants of those nests get into the regulator, there is A: Great Danger and B: Now way to salvage most regulators.
Second and interesting was an acquaintance left one tank home. This left the metal line that was supposed to be supported by the tank connection out dancing in the wind. Said line hardened and cracked. this was dangerous too, but at least the LP showed itself as soon as that tank was opened.

Not sure what difference you think 53# is going to make in towing ability or mileage. Not worth it to me!

If it's full and you don't expect to run the furnace...not an issue for a short trip.
We usually swap over when one is empty, pull it and put it in the truck with the second hooked up and in use...with no leaks or other issues.
As mentioned you aren't saving much but it will work fine...in fact a lot of small (uner 20ft) travel trailers only come with a single 20lb tank unless you upgrade.
