Filling large propane tank on the road
A bit colder here in the south than I was expecting and using significant amount of propane. I have built in 24 gal tank and wanted to ask how everyone finds local sources for propane fill ups. Any ex...

If you are staying in an RV park...especially one catering to snowbirds, just ask the front office. I'm sure they know the local options.
If it's a busy park, odds are they either have propane on site or there is a delivery service that comes thru periodically. Whenever we've used them, they have always been very cost competitive to other sources.
If that doesn't work, call around to places that fill tanks. Good chance one will be able to do it. Gives you a good chance to exercise the motor in your motorhome.
If you are boondocking or otherwise not in a busy park, a special run just for your 24gal tank will likely incur an extra cost.
If you aren't tied to the park/area, give consideration to moving further south. With those temps, you will burn a fair amount of propane.
We just got into the RGV last weekend and the snowbird parks are empty and offering deals (We paid $299 for a month at a nice park). They also are having a cold snap but lows are still in the upper 30's and by the end of the week will be in the low 50's.
