Freezing propane tanks
A few years ago on a weekend trip during the winter my propane tank froze up and was useless is there any way to prevent freeze up.

The propane froze or the regulator froze and stopped the gas flow.
I should have included a ? at the end .
bluearc, I sometimes use a larger 30 or 40# tank outside of my propane compartment but I always use some soft foam around the regulator as well as solid foam to replace the door as in the pic.
I was told the regulator diaphragm can freeze up or possibly crack (having one crack is rare ) .
I did use a hair dryer once to thaw it at -30F. Since then, I insulate it.
We dry camp at a CG , no water in the tc. The furnace keeps us at 70F plus .
I just swapped the OEM short hose for a longer hose on one side of the regulator. The longer hose can reach any tank on the ground.
