"VIKING" PROPANE CYLINDERS

Has anyone purchased, used, and refilled a "VIKING" propane cylinder? Your thoughts on it's actual use.

Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)

  • I got two of the first Lite Cylinders when they came out and had the company gave me two under warranty in "12" when the outside cases broke. Shortly after they were all had a recall and the company went under. Then the Feds made it illegal for ALL tanks to be refilled. Lots of places filled them anyway. Finally caught up with me and can't get them refilled anywhere. I wouldn't touch anything but the old steel tanks with a ten foot poll.
  • Thanks. I'll stick with my steel tanks for a while longer. :-) Any 3rd party vendors with them? All I'm seeing are the smaller ones.

  • Looks like they would be very handy if you only had one cylinder and needed to know when it was running low. And they would be easier to lift since they weigh less than steel. Price is a little high, but not horrible. I guess it would depend on how you want to spend your money.
  • Price is a disadvantage.
    Being able to see the liquid level is an advantage.
    Being different might be a disadvantage trying to get a refill.
  • I can see it with a TC but I don't know what purpose it would serve on a fiver or other large RV.
