The OPs profile does not specify what type of rig.
MHs have a permanently mounted tank and only needs to be shut off before filling.
Some fifth wheels have the tanks in the front compartment and are suppose to be removed to refill.
Travel trailers normally have their tanks mounted to the tongue areas in open air. They may need to be removed if filling stations requires it. Some do and some don't.

Exactly.

When we had a motorhome, the techs verified everyone was out of the rig before they would refill the tank. When we had our TT's and now FW - we remove them and take them to the location to be refilled.

What's Fickit?

OP! You need to clarify your post. Is the propane vessel(s) permanently affixed to the RV or are they removable? If removable, are the bottles time expired? There is a expiration date on the collar of removable bottles. If expired they need to be either recertified or replaced.

Never heard of such a thing..I've been Rv'ing for over 25 years and never had a problem like this.

Some places will not refill bottles in a rig.
