Adapter to Allow Auxiliary Propane Tank to RV Propane System

Question

Question:

I plan on having a fixed 7 Gallon tank installed onboard, but want to have option of adding an offboard tank sometimes. Would it be possible to add a plug on one inlet to close it off most of the time, or does something about the automatic changeover preclude this?
