Propane winterizing

Which is better, remove the tanks over the winter or leave them hooked up?

I have heard that if you do remove them, you should wrap the connection with a plastic bag so nothing gets in.

Normally, I store the trailer with the tanks installed, but since I emptied them on the last trip of the year, I figured I would just remove them and store them in the garage like I do with my spares.

  • Personally I leave mine in the 5er. The only thing I worry about is theft of them. My 5er is in a storage yard. I've had trailers over the last 41 years and the bottles have always stayed on or in the trailers.
