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?

There are 3 ways: On trailers which have removable tanks, Usually vertically mounted, you remove the tank to the pumphouse and the pump jockey refills it (more on the pump house later)
ON Class C and A with tanks that are mounted and can not be easily removed, You drive to the pump house.
IN some cases... The park may have an agreement with a local propane wholesaler to deliver direct to the RV.. (This varies from park to park and from state to state as some states do not allow vehicle to vehicle transfer)
Now: the pump house.
Many RV parks pump propane for their "Guests" usually at a premimum price.
Some gas stations have propane, Some Hardware stores, Many (But not all) RV dealers and .. What I usually do is find a wholesaler as they tend to (But again not always) have good prices.
Example; The best price near me: ACE HARDWARE, the worst: The wholesaler
The best price near my summer quarters: The wholesaler. but hours are limited.
The worst: one of the parks I stay at.
To find wholesalers: Google: Propane {zip code}
(the zip code where you are parked)
Look for a propane dealer who delivers.
NOTE:..... IF you have portable tanks (The ones I mentioned in the first type where you can easily remove them) they need periodic inspection and re-certification.. Again, this is something most wholesalers do. Some other stores might do it but most wholesalers do it.
