Propane Refill
How do you refill your propane tank? Do you have to go to a special refill place or do you pull out the tank?

First thing I did when buying mine was change the motor oil with full synthetic. Took it to the RV place and had them look over the chassis and hit all grease points. They felt the differential oil wasn't right and flushed it. Good, something that won't leave me on the side of the road. Getting the DW's car worked on and saw a poster that said most unserviced transmission failures occur at 73,000 miles. My Terra had 66,000 miles . . . . got that flushed.
What I didn't catch was a 12 yr old rust covered propane tank. No one will fill it because of the date and excessive rust (original cert runs 12 yrs). Looks like you're covered but (as I understand it) a tank re-certification lasts 5 yrs not another 12. No big deal if you keep it clean. New tank is $500 + labor. Ouch . . .
Tractor Supply has the best propane prices around here. Pilot / Flyin J is probably the most convenient if you're traveling, but not all of them carry propane (or dump facilities).
