Where do you carry your extra propane tank?

Inside the TC? Outside? Back? roof? Inquiring minds want to know.

I carry mine (20lb horizontal tank) in a milk crate under the dinette.
  • On a 2-week dry camp trip, I carry 100 lbs (2-20 lb and 2-30 lb bottles) of LPG strapped in the trailer. The LPG provides fuel to the genset, evening fire and grilling.

    Wizard, where you been?


    Hi, Joe B. I haven't had a lot to add to the forum for a while so I backed out. Might just get back to it. :W
  • Camper carries 2 tanks in the designed stoarage area and I bring a 3rd to run my bbq and smoker. A milk crate is the best stabilizing device for a tank. Most of my "stuff" rides in the boat until I get to camp.
  • I carry mine in the propane compartment along side the other 30 pounder.

  • 5 pound backup tank lives handily right behind the wheel well storage door, curbside.
  • Shouldn't need an extra tank unless its cold outside and your going to be gone for awhile.
