Carrying extra Propane

I have been carry 1 lb bottles of propane in the outside storage compartments of the camper. However, they are really "inside compartments" that you access from outside so you are really carrying them in the camper.

For our grill and propane campfire I recently picked up an 11 lb refillable propane tank. The question is where to keep it. There isn't a lot of room in the camper and as noted the outside compartments are really inside compartments. I could carry it in the truck but that doesn't sound the safest either.

So what do others do?

An 11 lb. bottle is no more likely to leak/create a problem than the little one-pounders you're already carrying. It may actually be SAFER, in fact- those throwaways have no autoshutoff that stops propane flow if sudden loss of pressure/outgassing is detected.

The refillable cylinder you just bought does have such a feature. Stick it in a side compartment and don't worry about it.
