Propane tank size for Park Model
We just ordered a Kropf Park Model for delivery next May. Selling our 2004 Holiday Rambler 32RKD. The dealer recommended a 100# propane tank for our new unit. There are many Park Models in our camp...

We stayed at the KOA in Jeffersonville, Indiana earlier this year. They have several seasonal campers there. Most of them are working in the area on different construction jobs. I did not know this until I asked about their propane tanks from the campground owner.
They were the tall 100# tanks. And many of the campers there had 2 of them. I asked her how they refilled them. She said they each use a propane company that delivers (just like the huge tanks people get filled at their homes).
She said, most of the campers are there for one year and then move on. The winter months is the highest propane usage time of course. She couldn't tell me how often they had the tanks refilled though. I do know, if you have to move those tanks, the same company will come back out and take the propane out. We did this when we sold our house in Ohio. I wasn't going to give the next homeowner a thousand pounds of propane free!
If you do want portability, something you can handle yourself, if you go much over the 40 pound tanks, you just might have a challenge.
My vote: 100# if you have it refilled by a propane company that delivers. 40# max if you're refilling yourself,
