Finding propane while traveling

Pilot stations also may have propane, but not all do. You might want to check because my local Pilot has LP but it is not listed on their web site. Jim.

The manager of the Pilot that I stopped at told me that the web site said that they had it, but they do not.

I’ve run into the problem of pulling into a place and whoever can pump propane is not there. If I’m making a special trip out for it, I now know to call first.

I’ve had several experiences with places that fill portable tanks only. One place was willing to fill the tank, but their pump was not very accessible and their hose was too short to reach where I felt I could safely park the coach.

Another of my complaints with buying from the supplier in my stick home: To have it filled, I’m supposed to find someone from the warehouse to do it. (Dealer is a farm supply store.) The one time I had it filled there, I belatedly discovered that the semi-trained warehouse worker filled the tank to 100%. Naturally, the tank vented the excess and I lost 7 or 8 gallons of propane at $4 per gallon. It would be so much simpler if the driver who delivers to our stick home could also fill the tank on the coach. I would trust that he knows what he’s doing.

We have a TSC not too far away, so I can check there for a local source. I will also check out other local propane dealers, but since we live in such a remote area, there are few choices and those are not too close. That’s why I want to find sources to fill up on the way home before parking the rig.

I will explore the apps. Thanks!
