Getting propane tanks in and out

You might ask a younger neighbor if they could lift the tanks for you and offer him a beer for his troubles. Most people will help you.

I more than feel your pain...we have two 40 LB tanks.

Worse is I’ve seen propane doors that you have to insert the top of the tank first and lift it up to get the tank inside the compartment. Didn’t even make the door big enough to put the bottom in first a tilt the tank in!

Some parks have the propane truck go thru every week or two.

Or you can find fill stations where there is room to pull the trailer in. A couple dollar tip and the teen doing the filling will probably be wiling to heft them back in.

How often do you change out the tanks? In Florida, I would be expecting 2-3 months out of a tank. If you do get into cold weather, consider adding/using an electric heater to supplement and reduce propane consumption.

On my Dad's 5th wheel I put a loop above and past the tank. Had a short chain to hook between a bar and the tank. 1 end of bar in loop, lift other end of bar, slide chain to move tank.

The best thing you can do for yourself is buy aluminum tanks. If room allows a slideout tray.
