Those proclaiming for tank exchange, most (all?) exchanges only fill the tank with 16 lbs of propane. 20% less than filling your own tank
But than few minutes exchange beats 1/2 hr wait for cylinders fill.
My last fill at Costco gave me good price, but was pretty big hassle.
Could not park close to propane pump, so having 2 cylinders had to find a cart and roll it to the center.
Than had to push the bell and wait for attendant. Took several minutes and he filled 2 cylinders, giving me a receipt to pay inside warehouse.
Long waiting lines, even I combined it with grocery pickup, but when i come back with paid receipt, turn out that the paper the attendant gave me had 2 bills on single slip of paper, so had to go back to cashier and pay for the 2nd. .
I have custom cylinders, so exchange for me is not possible, but than having gauge on them, very often leave the 2nd at home.
Not much need to carry spare when it last for 5 or more weeks and the gained storage is good for charcoal and snorkeling gear.
Well I have never needed to wait 1/2 hour to get tanks filled, most of the time about 5-10 minutes.
To the issue of re-certifying camper horizontal tanks, for visual easy peasy. Replacement is not cheap nor easy to find. Here is one on Amazon
