2018 dry camping package option

Just wondering if anyone else has taken delivery of a 2018 5W with the dry camping package option? Last year the option consisted of gen prep and 3-30# propane tanks. My new 5W showed up in July with 2-30# tanks and they are telling me that this years dry camping option is just supposed to include 2-40# tanks so they just upsized my tanks to 40#. Just wondering if that actually the case or if they just forgot to build the trailer with the dry camping package and that was there solution to pacify me.

My 2017 Eagle 293RKDS was ordered with the dry camping package. Yes, it's two 40 lb tanks. I believe some of the HT's get three tanks.

Should include the generator firebox with junction box and remote start harness. The transfer switch and the remote start panel on the wall inside.

Mine came off the line March 10th 2017.

I was told that there is a federal manufacturing law that limits the propane volume size when used in replaceable tanks. I was looking at a new fifth wheel at a trade show that clearly had space for 4 20 lb. propane tanks. It only had three in place. A manufacturers rep was there and I questioned him why not 4 tanks. He stated that the manufacturer couldn't put in the forth tank but the dealer or the owner could and it would be legal. It was a law that only applied to the manufacturer.

My 293 only has a place for two tanks. Two 40 lb tanks. No other provisions for more tanks.
