Ex. LP tank of 40 gals

[Supercharged]

I have a 15 gal now and it don't last that long for us. I thinking of putting a second larger tank where I carried my motorcycle. I now pull a small car, so could put the tank there. Good or bad idea.

I'd look at an "Extend a stay" kit. Camco sells it. This tees off the propane coming from the tank, and allows you to add one, possibly two propane cylinders (not tanks) if you have a changeover valve.

I would see about a setup for two 20# propane cylinders for the rear go this route. You can go 30#, but that size or bigger becomes difficult to sling in and out after a while.

I think he knows how heavy it will be and wants to semi-permanently mount it on the vehicle. But don't know whether he's talking front or rear of the vehicle.

I assume you mean 40 pound tank. Have yu tried lifting a 40 pound tank full of propane. Thirty pounders are all i want to horse around.

Obviously it depends on where you carry your motorcycle.

If this is for use while parked seasonally, it seems like an OK idea, but then again it would probably be just as easy to put the tank on the ground next to the RV.

If this is to do while traveling, check the DOT regulations on mounting or carrying LPG tanks. As I recall they basically had to be located within the framework of the vehicle: not hanging below the frame, nor above it on the roof, nor in front of the front bumper or behind the back one. The tanks also must be in a place well ventilated to the outside. The reasons for that regulation should be pretty obvious. I can't think offhand of any motorcycle carrying things I've seen on an RV that are not either a toy hauler (so not well ventilated) or that extend beyond the back bumper, so this is probably not going to be legal (or IMHO safe) for travel on the road.
