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.
I think that where you are missing my point.
With lp I don't need to carry an extra can because I have lp on board already. Most RV's already have lp.
There are lots of diesel vehicles pulling RV trailers that don't have gas available but they do have lp available.
If you have a gas powered tow vehicle gas is readily available. But if you have a diesel vehicle lp becomes a more convenient option.
For me BTU efficiency is way down on my list of criteria
Lol
Don’t pull a hammy there, stretchin Langley!
