So carry an additional propane bottle or a gas can. I can see no difference between those two choices. For me, the increase in BTU's from gasoline would be the deciding difference. Not to mention, more gasoline can be had, literally, EVERYWHERE. Even when the gas station is closed sometimes. Finding propane can be more problematic, as we discovered at 6pm one Saturday night while boondocking when our propane tank ran empty and we discovered that the second propane tank had developed a leak in the pigtail, and was also empty. Fun times.
Agreed. I have also run extremely low on propane because of a similar issue when my current 5er was about a year old. It can happen. I could run my Hondas, but not the furnace, so I fired up the electric space heater to keep things from freezing. I normally wouldn't worry, but we had a sudden cold snap and the air temps were in the teens.
