Super Hot Propane tank when traveling
2011 Jayco 29DS when traveling the propane gets so hot you can't touch it and it ticks. Is this normal and safe? Has always been like this from purchase. Mike

I would take it to a muffler shop and have that exhaust heat shielded IMMEDIATELY.
Tank relief valve WILL spew propane if tank temps get over 130*F
Exhaust should NOT be heating the tank ....bad bad bad
I’m going to go the other way on this one, I doubt a typical muffler shop would have much experience with class A motorhomes, ESPECIALLY what is ‘normal’ or not.
Take it to a Jayco dealer, they will (should?) be able to quickly see if there’s something that’s not right compared to a ‘normal’ unit.
A manufacturer as big Jayco / Thor isn’t going to produce a unit with a propane tank next to the exhaust system, and if they had, I’m pretty sure we’d of heard of it in less than 7 years ......
