mounting a propane tank to bumper

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.

Jim..1-Try going hunting for a week in October or November in Idaho or Montana and see how much propane you use to stay warm and keep the lines from freezing..2-5 gallon tanks just don't cut it.

2-Spend all day out on your ATV or fishing/whatever and come back to a TC that has done nothing but act like an oven all day when you were gone and it's 95 degrees out and see just how long you have to run the genny to cool it down and it's still 95 outside and your just pain tired..

We all use our TC's differently and you can't walk in another mans shoes unless you take his path which may or may not be totally different than yours making his needs completely different than yours.
