Propane tank recertification experience
Had my 2003 Roadtrek propane leak tested the other day and it passed. I went to fill up the propane and the attendant looked at the sticker on the windshield and said he couldn't fill the tank since it expired in 2011. I had never had anyone check that before, but, the owner did fill the tank after he found out that the propane was used for RV appliances and not used to fuel the vehicle.
So I called the RV facility where I had the leak test done and asked if they issue the sticker for tank recertification. They didn't but, referred me to a propane facility that did. Long story short, it appears that there is a recertification required and that an auto stop valve will need to he installed if you don't have one.
So if you have an older Roadtrek be aware that you may have future expenses in installation/recertification of your propane tanks. This will vary depending where you live. My experience is in Ontario.
