mowermech has the right of it. Especially the part of getting a local LP supplier to supply the tank, hook it up and keep it filled. The unwritten part of that is that if something goes wrong there, they will come out and fix it. It's their tank, hose and connections.
We just spent 4 months in Alaska. When we got to Valdez, the snow was right down to the harbor, and there were 6' piles behind each RV space. A number of people in the park had 100 lb tanks and hoses installed by the local LP supplier and these setups worked extremely well. If I were doing it, that's the way I'd go. No messing with taking tanks for refilling. We have 3 heat pumps so I was OK down to 37 or so and temps below that only went that low in the very early hours, but if I didn't have the heat pumps, that's the way I'd go. We used heat just about the whole summer at one time or another.
