filling butane cylinder
Hi, I will visit the USA soon with my own RV. My gas canister must be empty while the RV is being shipped. Now I need to know, where I can have it refilled. As my RV uses gas only for the stove...

Butane and Propane are the same thing. The difference is Butane is for warmer climates as its boiling temp is higher. Propane is for colder climates. Filling with Propane will not cause any problems in the USA. Doug
No they are not the same thing.. But they are close enough to the same thing.
ONE thing though, I doubt a propane pump jockey will fill the tank for him.. Not an "Approved ACME type valve" don't you know.
Might be easier to get an adapter that will let you use a propane tank on your rig.. Then you can get an exchange tank, However what you do with it when you are done I can't say. but if you can find a place to rent you a tank that would work.
The cost is a bit higher than a refillable tank when it comes to the gas, but You'd have to buy a tank in that case.
