Propane tank level

Installed residential fridge and use electric hot plate for most cooking.
Is there any reason to keep the propane tank full? Know condensation is an issue with partially full fuel tanks, does this apply to propane as well?

No, there is no condensation problem with a partially filled propane tank.

Brett is correct.  Unlike a diesel tank that is vented to outside air (with its moisture content), a propane tank is sealed.

Pulling my stove and putting in an induction stove. Then I will pull my propane tank too.

John, will you be able to run the stove off battery bank or strictly gen/shore power?

I have the 17 gal (?) LP tank that is removed from the coach, in that space have the4th 8G8D Deka GellCell, next is to have the gas burner removed and installed a 120 VAC Induction cook top.  Have Zero need for LP Gas.  If anyone wants tis tank, it is in great shape, just no need for it, Come & get it. about 3/4 full.
Of course the Samsung 24 cf refrig, makes me wonder why I put it off so long.

I like the insert model. I have a single 1800 watt counter top one and it's great.
