Things we learned while driving through Canada to Alaska

• Canadian propane tanks are larger in diameter than US tanks. The Canadian ones would not fit in our camper. The strap to secure the tank is about a quarter of an inch too short. We had to get our tank refilled, not exchanged.

Exchanging a LP tank is one of the BIGGEST RIPOFF there is ! Exchange tanks only put 15 lbs in the tank !! They claim it is for "safety", but those tanks are design, tested and certified to hold 20 lbs.

The only time I would ever exchange a tank was if it was expired.
