GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Jason doesn't believe me that there isn't a service that will fill your propane tank at the Fort. I'm not talking about the kind of tank you can drop off. I mean the ones that are in the RV. So educate me... Is there a company that will come do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm not aware of one. I have always filled up at campgrounds that have propane service where you pull up next to the big tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I remember seeing one. However I don't remember the name. I bet Grumpy knows. Hopefully he will chime in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I had to have mine filled lat October. I took it to the Meadows in the AM and they had it back to me in the afternoon. Price was per gallon and they would do partial fills. I don't know who they contract with as I handled it all through the Meadows store. The per gallon price seemed to be similar to what I had seen at other campgrounds that filled propane bottles. Sorry misread your post and didn't connect you are probably talking about permanently mounted tanks. I would still talk to the Meadows and see if they will give the contractor name. Since they are already on site they might be willing to come by your site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Amerigas is who fills the tanks at the CS, but I have never seen them filling RVs. My guess is, do to the liability they don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Given the number of MH at the Fort I'm a little surprised there isn't a service for this, but as Dave said, could be a liability issue. Sorry Jason - you have to go fill them before you leave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do you need propane for with your herd of Eggs? I would think you need a lump charcoal deliver truck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing that if you're in a big enough accident to affect your propane, it's not going to matter much if it was on or off. WalkerFiend 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And when we first started pulling a TT it had a constant pilot light, today they are all electronic ignition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 We never turn off our propane either. We also use it for hot water. But we have a large tank and rarely use more than 25% in a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Follow the link above from Nacole, then download the travel guide. I printed one out last week. According to the guide, not all locations have bulk propane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And when we first started pulling a TT it had a constant pilot light, today they are all electronic ignition. Yep... I would have never thought about it. Again (as I understood the video) the real danger is if you're in an accident. Something I saw this past week and thought was interesting. I'm sure a lot (if not most) of RV drivers travel with the gas on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WalkerFiend 22 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I haunt another RV group where the subject of leaving your propane on or off while traveling will generated 8 or 10 pages of argument and debate one way or another. Speaking just for me, we turn ours on the night before a trip so the fridge gets cold before we leave... It stays on, (yes, even when fueling at gas stations) until I unload at the end of our trip.This saved me one day. We tripped the breaker on the pedestal while we were away for several hours. Fridge switched back to gas and kept everything cold.I have not exploded on the highway or blown up any gas stations so far. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
