What's the procedure?

Seems simple but I could be missing something.
1) Turn off valve to large tank (250 gallons).
2) Open line (wearing gloves & pointing away from face)
3) Connect the small tank (20 gallons) taking care to prevent air entry

Is there more to it from a safety standpoint than that obvious procedure?

There's a guide here to tank sizes:

Would putting the 150 gallon one on a small trailer be a practical
option?

He might run into issues there of regulations regarding the transport
of nat gas and what kind of vehicles and equipment are approved for that.
Bringing home a couple of 20 lb tanks in an SUV I'm pretty sure is legal.
Towing a trailer with a 150 gallon tank of propane down a road that
has a weight limit, where cops are checking and stopping trucks, IDK
about that.
