IMHO propane is the most trouble/hassle to fill of all the fuels we use: for some reason I have no problem with taking a 5 gallon plastic gasoline can to be filled, but I feel like doing the same with a propane tank is being a real PITA. Stopping at a gas pump and squirting a few gallons into a can without having to go inside and find an employee to fire up the propane dispenser seems a whole lot simpler.....

Your kidding right?

Nope. My plastic gas can sits flat and does not roll around the truck like propane tanks, does not scratch what I set it on and does not have to be unstrapped and lifted out of a fitted base in a compartment that's just a bit too tall and too narrow to manage comfortably. It also weighs so much less than a propane tank when empty that my wife is even willing to carry it out to the truck for me if my hands are full......sometimes. If I need a refill I just swipe my card a second time at the pump when I'm filling the diesel truck, fill them both at once, set the filled plastic can in the bed of the truck and we are on our way.

I think I was thinking more along the lines of leveraging the 3 tanks already on the trailer and the BBQ quick connect. Also remember it is still TRI mode if you chose to use gas. I guess it all depends on how often you are using that generator and all the gas in the jerry can.

So, you never use the stove, turn off your fridge while you travel, and never ever use the furnace? If you use any of those things you WILL have to fill your propane tanks, if you add a generator, you will have to refill a little sooner! To have the extra step of getting and then storing gasoline is silly at least for me! Add in the benefits of running on propane, much longer times between oil changes, much cleaner burning than gasoline, no gummed up carburetors or sticking injectors, almost never have to change spark plugs, not worries of the tank rusting, no spilling gasoline, no stinky gasoline tanks in the bed of the TV or basement, this to me would far out weigh having to get your propane tanks refilled once in a while!
