Helpful Expert Reply:

No, the same regulator you would use on a 20lb tank can also be used on a 30lb tank. The factor to consider when choosing your regulator is the BTU and pressure ratings of the regulator so that you can ensure you're meeting the requirements for your appliances.

The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 you were looking at can definitely be used with a both a 20lb and 30lb tank. You'll simply need two of the MB Sturgis Propane Hose # 100473-24-MBS. The AMCE fitting will screw onto your propane tanks and the 1/4" NPT fitting can be threaded into the regular once you remove the 1/4" SAE inverted flare fittings.
