As Colin said, you don't need two cylinders, the changeover regulators usually have a non-return valve in each inlet, to allow you to remove one cylinder for replacement BUT it's only intended for short term use according to my caravan manual AND my service engineer, if one cylinder is to be removed for longer periods, the pigtail (gas hose) should be removed and a sealed blanking cap fitted to the unused inlet. Indeed, on my service, the engineer found a slight reverse flow gas leak on my regulator with only one cylinder fitted (quite common, and 'normal' for the valve type apparently), so fitted a blanking cap as I had no intention of replacing the second cylinder.
Cold weather can have an effect on gas depending on whether Butane or Propane.
Butane (Calor - blue bottles) is suitable for use at temperatures down to a CYLINDER temp of 2°C (a cylinder in use will be cooler than the ambient temp!), but will not work below that temperature as the liquid gas will no longer vaporise.
Propane (Calor - red bottles) will work at temperatures as low as -40°C and is therefore suitable for winter caravanning. As you have said you are using Propane, you should have no difficulties.
As to the MCB, best let BIL electrician sort that, a number of possibilities including MCB gone faulty.
