Propane

When the kids lived in Binghamton,NY We would stay in their driveway for up to two weeks and when their propane truck came He would fill our M.H. tank if i asked. I would just pay the kids then.

Also many of the campgrounds at Myrtle Beach , they will come to your site. You notify the office and you must be present when they come.

Off topic, but small tanks (40 pounds or less) are not weighed anymore. Or at least they don't have to be.

They DO in Texas and ANY State that has comprehensive LP/Natural gas safety laws. The ONLY correct way and SAFE way to fill DOT tanks is by weight. Doug (licensed by the Texas Railroad Commission and have been since 1979 to Fill and Service LP systems).

I've seen propane trucks trolling the RV parks any number of times, and have had mine filled by them many times.

I suspect that if the park has its own propane service they will be less receptive to mobile suppliers.

Depends on where you stay. I have had mine filled in campgrounds in Calif, Texas & Colorado!

Plus NH and TX.

All the RV Resorts in Lake Havasu, AZ. have propane service! Were sitting for 6-7 months and really enjoy the mobil service.

Why is it the Propane companies cannot/will not fill the propane tank on motor homes while parked in a campground? Must go to propane companies place of business.
Small tanks I understand as they must be weighed.

Haven't ran into that problem as yet!

Fix the problem with Extend A Stay and a slave tank, problem solved.

Often it is due to local fire regulations. You can get MHs filled in the parks in Casa Grande, AZ but you can't in Mesa, Az - - difference is the local fire departments regulations.

I've been in RV parks where the LPG distributor will come out on call, others where they will come out one day a week and go through the park. I think for the distributor, it is a matter of trying to get some return on manpower costs.

But you said "campground." Depending on what government agency is running the campground, it might be a matter of policy to restrict commercial activity.

IN another forum we have a favorite saying "Your Millage May Vary"

Laws and other regulations vary from location to location,, In some places either the state, the county, the city or the park say "YOU CAN NOT DO THAT".

Other places, No such restriction.
