Filling MH Propane...

For the campgrounds that list LP in the ammenities... will they fill your propane tank on the MH?

Do you guys do it when you first pull in if needed?

(I am down to 1/4 tank and am headed down to the OuterBanks, NC this weekend (Cape Hatteras KOA).

Thanks in advance,
Mal
  • We have been able to fill our MH at parks that offer propane, however we have run into some that only do the smaller bottles. Ask at the desk when you check in. Some have the tank set up so you pull up to it as you are leaving (to have it on the correct side of the MH).
  • Isn't there a gauge on the permenant installed tanks? Or the liquid comes out meaning it's full? I need to get mine filled as well never done it before.

    There are two different types of propane reservoirs. The tank type that must be removed from the RV for filling. The vessel type that is permanently mounted on the RV. Both may be filled using a metering system and the tank type may be filled using a weight system. The weight system can not be used for a propane vessel as this system requires the removal of the reservoir from the RV to accommodate weighing the reservoir.


    Hooray, some else uses the weight system when filling those portable tanks. The only true way to correctly fill these types of tanks.

  • many places will fill your MH propane tank. Actually as I think about it, if they say they fill/have propane we have always been able to get it. Usually tell them when we check in that we need propane and they will have someone meet you at the tank. Sometimes easier to unhook tow vehicle first, ask at desk.
