Hooking up a propane tank to rv

[Tom Hoffman]

Typically there are 100 lb cylinders like I mentioned before.  I have never seen  250 lb tank, it is a 250 gallon tank (at approx 4 lbs per gallon that would be 1000 lbs +)  there is also a 100 gallon tank, these are considered bulk tanks and will be filled by a propane delivery truck, normally they are either leased or purchased. 

If you are in a permanent location, you could buy a 250 or 500 gallon tank.  Prices per gallon are much lower and the truck driver will make all the hook up connections and check for leaks too. 

I currently lease a 500 gallon tank for $38 per year.  I fill it about once a year when we are home in our house.  I have several neighbors who live in TTs and thy have 500 gallon tanks as well.

I finally contacted the propane delivery people. I would have to buy the 250# tank for about $600 If I got a 500# or gallon not sure which it would be, I would have to buy a large amount of propane for the year. I am only going to be in this spot for this winter and spring, so it does not make it practical. I have 4 30# tanks and I guess I will just have to fill go fill them when needed. I just wanted something simpler. Thanks all, Cathy

Four 30 pounders you should have no problem... If a motor home fill the onboard, and use an Extend-a-stay, when the 30 pounder runs out open the main and change tanks (or just change tanks)

On a trailer with removable tanks when one empties swap it out when you have two empties re-fill.

For Very long term parking a Propane dealer can bring you some rather large tanks and hook them up in place of your on-board in most cases.

For shorter terms like I said I use the Extend-a-stay.  Works great for me.. One of the first mods I did to this beast.

Right now HEATING is not... the problem.. COOLILNG is at least till 2 mondays from now.
