Jumping Jack Flash says propane is a gas, gas, gas.
Yesterday, while working on the Arctic Fox, I noticed that both of its propane tanks had aged out and would need to be recertified before they could be refilled. That's not a big deal with regular 5-gallon propane tanks, but the Arctic Fox came with two 40-pound tanks. Since their incredibly heavy and somewhat difficult to put in the Arctic Fox when their full, and they're very expensive, I decided I would put two new 5 pound tanks in the Arctic Fox since the old 40 pound tanks were looking kind of shabby, which is what happens when you boondock on the beach at Corpus Christi I decided that I would put in the new 5 pound tanks and let the new owner, whoever that may be decide if he wants to spend some money on bigger tanks.
Those big tanks were useful to me because I boondock most of the time, so I used a lot of propane. However, most people stay at RV parks, and they primarily use electricity, so larger propane tanks are not necessary.
Propane tanks typically last 10 years, and the large tanks in the Arctic Fox were the original ones that came with it, as it's a 2013 trailer. Some propane refill locations check the dates stamped on the tanks before refilling them, but many don't, so you may be able to use out-of-date tanks for an extended period before anyone catches you. Many people now use the trade-in tanks available at Walmart, gas stations, and similar locations. That way you never have to worry about tanks aging out because you get a different tank every time you buy propane, but they charge a high price for that propane and they don't even fill up the tank so you lose at both ends, overpriced propane, and your tanks are not full when you buy them.
