Here's how the auto-switchover regulators are designed to work (and there should be a manual for the regulator in the packet you got with your RV):
With both tanks open, point the lever on the regulator to the tank you want to use first. The indicator will be green (if you have propane in that tank, of course).
When that tank is empty, the regulator will automatically switch over to the other tank and the indicator will turn red. This is the signal that you need to go get the empty tank filled. Turn the lever over to the full tank and the indicator will turn green.
When you get back with the newly-filled tank, connect it and slowly open the valve (this is so the built-in safety valve doesn't shut off the flow of propane).
As the tanks empty, repeat this process. Be diligent about checking the indicator so you'll know when you need to refill a tank. Following this process will ensure that you don't have to get up in the middle of a cold night to go switch tanks.
