Finding propane refills

I just wanted to throw this out there for the use  of the community. I've been a fulltime RVer since 2006 and always hate it when I run out of propane in a strange location. Prices can vary widely in a small area. So I created a website that shows bulk propane refill stations (anyone can find and get ripped off by a tank exchange place) either in a map based on your location or a list based on a zip code you input. I'm always looking for  new inputs - either refill stations or updated prices and there are processes for that on the website. 

For the mods or admins: This is a free website. There's not even any ads. Just a service for the RV community.

    That’s great. Nothing worse than running out of propane in the middle of nowhere.

  • is that price per gal or price per LB, I am suspecting per gal as it is under a buck a lb up here.  I usually shoot for Costco for my refills, as they are usually the same price (or very close) as bulk up here, for small tanks. the bulk places I have found don't give discounts on anything under 100lbs, but that's up in Canada to the few I have gone to.

      It's per gallon. While I've seen some places use a scale to determine when a cylinder is full, I've never seen anyone with a listed price per pound. I certainly agree about Costco but not all of them dispense propane.

        all propane up here is dispensed by a scale system, unless you have a liquid propane tank like in a car or motorhome and is sold per LB.  commercial places will usually just charge you a flat fee by the tank size whether it is empty or not
