Bedlam
Dec 13, 2019Moderator
The amount of propane I could carry was a consideration when we purchased our short bed truck camper with Onan - Eagle Cap and Arctic Fox were the only ones that had dual 30 lb tanks. We wanted a built in generator rather than hauling an external one and another fuel source, so that eliminated many of the brands.
Even with 60 lbs of propane on board, I carry an additional 100 lbs in my enclosed trailer for extended boon docking not just for the generator but for outdoor cooking, fire pit and outside heater.
Weekend Warrior went from dual 30 lb tanks to triple 20's making swaps easy if refilling was not available. Unfortunately that convenience takes up too much room in a truck camper unless you get creative.
