Yep swapping LP tanks to 20# tanks was a wise decision I made a couple of years ago. No more strained back trouble since then. Since then when I did some boondocking in colder weather at San Pedro, a single 20# lasted me about three weeks. Of course my Castle is a lot smaller than your Mansion so heating takes less LPG. Cooler weather starts tomorrow here in North Alabama. It is a welcome change.

Since I don't heat while I'm asleep no matter how cold it is, and I use my radiant propane heater which gently sips propane instead of my propane and electricity guzzling furnace, I could probably live quite comfortably on two 5 gallon tanks. I would have to fill them up twice as often but since it wouldn't be such a chore I think changing out a 5 gallon tank twice is a lot that easier than a 10 gallon tank once.

I just noticed you have the 10 gallon tanks. WOW that is a load. My bigger tanks were the 7 gallon models and now I have the 5 gallon models. I would have had to change the 10 gallons bottles out YEARS ago.You must be a very stalwart person to handle the 10 gallon tanks. WOW.

Stalwart? Isn't that a fancy word for stupid?

I haven't changed out my 10 gallon LP tanks, but nowadays I only have them filled with 8 gallons. They are a little easier to handle that way. The fact that my tanks are aluminum helps also.

I didn't even know they made aluminum propane tanks so I just checked them out on the Internet and I can see why I never heard of them before, I've had cars that cost less than aluminum propane tanks.

Here's a thought...maybe not a good thought, but a thought none-the-less.

Thank you for the thought, and for the offer. I think when I have to change to the 5 gallon tanks I will use those swappable tanks so I can either have them filled or exchange them for a full one at a store and that will give me more options when refill places are hard-to-find.
