jaycocreek, I usually only fill my tanks up once or twice per year. I only use my generator to top off the batteries. I’m pretty sure I’m only around 60-70 hrs on my generator in 13 years. With LEDs and using the sunscreen cloth I just don’t use that much propane. When I’m moving, my batteries top off with the truck since we don’t use that much battery power.
Frankly, if I was going to stay inside all of the time, I would probably just stay home. I can understand if you are forced to hangout while kids are doing an event, etc. But otherwise, how much AC are you going to need with the exception of Southeast with high humidity and high temperature late into the night.
So, again, what’s the OP doing that he needs 4 tanks for one trip? If it’s generator, he’d be better off moving to a gasoline model. Propane is one of the most expensive/inefficient fuels for a generator. Not to mention they make a lot more noise.
In TC generators are convenient, but they are also the most expensive generator solution.
