I have used a stick-on gauge like this one http://www.leevalley.com/US/Garden/page.aspx?p=55008&cat=2,40733,40996&ap=1 and find it to be an excellent, low-cost, simple to use solution to the LP tank level question. I would probably stay away from a magnetic version, so look for one that is adhesive. Since most of us boil water for coffee or tea in the morning, you are never really put-out to check the level on the road. You do need boiling water for it to really work well.

I thought I had a hint of propane smell when I entered the caboose but dismissed it as paranoia after a few more breaths. Well the top of the stove hopped up about 4 inches and the resulting fire went out rather shortly. The double female adapter was leaking at the stove distribution log. I tightened it and took a lit match and checked for a leak and it still supported a flame so I re tightened the connection and now it's gone.
