30# propane tanks

I purchased a 2016 Surveyor 251RKS with 20# propane tanks on board. I would like to know if anyone of you fellow owners have any advise whether or not it would be a structural integrity issue with the extra weight on the tongue. I have heard some issues with the frames on the 251RKS.

Anyone? My wife and I love the design and layout and would like to keep it for a while, don't want any issues.

Anyone else change out the couch / sleeper for recliners? We bought a wall hugger reclining love seat with console, same weight and made for our coach. Wonderful addition, much more comfortable than the couch / sleeper.

What you are attempting to do would average about an extra 32 pounds.

10 more pounds of propane and about 6 more pounds for the larger cylinder tare weight. So two cylinders would be around 32 pounds.
