Propane filling
Does anyone know of an app to locate towns that have a place to fill propane bottles? Exchanging them is a monumental rip off.

You don't need an app they are all around. where ever you are at. :C
1. Almost all CG's have a propane tank fill station and refill propane bottles and/or MH's. CG's state if they do in their ad/website. So if you have a good CG app that's all you'll need.
2. Do a search for 'residential' propane companies in the area. ALL of them have a drive up to fill bottles and/or MH's if the area its in will fit a MH.
3. ALL RV dealerships have propane fill stations.
4. Most Ace Hardware's have propane fill stations.
5. ALL trucks stops big or small have propane fill stations.
And yes I HAVE used all of the above to fill a propane bottle and a MH.
The situation where I live and most of the places I have visited is a bit different.
1. It is rare to find any campgrounds with propane. Some RV parks have exchange stations but even that is uncommon.
3. My RV dealer does not carry propane. I occasionally visit Camping World stores and have never seen one with propane.
4. The ACE hardware stores in my area removed the propane filling stations a couple of years ago.
5. I sometimes stop at Flying J/Pilot truck stops or similar places and cannot remember ever seeing one with propane. I did a quick search in my area and none have propane refills or exchanges.
I don't know where you live but your experience does not match my location. I also travel across country and camp several months of the year. The places I have visited don't seem to match your location either.
In addition to the problem of finding refill stations, I have had horrible issues with the exchange stations. A minor issue is the high price. I had to give up on the local Home Depot. ALL of the tanks were expired and none re certified. This means no place can legally refill them when I travel. I also had leaks on 2 of 3 tanks that I tried to use for my garage heater.
Where do you live?
Do you live in a state that has completely banned propane? :B :H
Never heard of such a thing as no propane anywhere!
I full time and I have yet to pull into a Flying J that did not have a propane lane.
What SIZE propane bottles are you trying to get filled?
