It does sound like an issue with your changeover because when using a regulator such as the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005, the auxiliary tank will take over and start supplying propane once the primary tank is empty enough that the pressure falls to less than the auxiliary tank, which means your pressure should not be less when switching tanks, and if this isn't happening the changeover regulator could be faulty.
