propane tanks

Bruce,

You may sing a different song when your permanent tank is low and you've hunted around in vain for an LP fill station that you can get into with a bus. I've been there.

I had enough and took out my permanent tank and replaced it with two 20 lb (about 5 gl) bottles using an RV mount designed for travel trailers. Nothing unsafe or "make do" about those and they are new, inexpensive, easy to carry and easy to remove and get refilled just about anywhere. I also know exactly when half my LP is used.

I'm about to make the same change on my new (to me) 4107 which has an ancient permanent tank of unknown vintage. My LP guy is not too happy about refilling it and I'm not going to push my luck. I plan to use two slightly larger 30 lb tanks since these bays are taller than the old ones.

When I finish this mod these two tanks are free to anyone who wants them. The old ten gallon one is available right now, the new one I need to empty first.

I use 2 40# manchester tanks i bought from Lowes and an auto switching valve.  they are large enough they don't require filling extremely often, yet still small enough that I can handle them to get filled without having to move the bus.
