For about $110 you could have bought two brand new 40 pound portable tanks (11 gallons each) from Menard's. When one runs out, you can switch to the other one, remove the full one and take it to the local dealer in your car. Much more convenient, and utilize space in the bay more efficiently. Also, you can remove one of the tanks and use it on a campstove or grill away from the bus, if desired.
Obviously, there are still places that will, but I'm hearing more and more that insurance is limiting companies (or they are using it as an excuse) in what kinds of tanks they can fill. I use a local distributor close to me, and noticed the sign on their door when I first bought the tanks for my bus. One other problem I've heard from some bus owners is that when they are parked and run out, they have to break camp and drive the bus to whereever the distributor is. Then, there have been times where they could not manuver the bus in to where they distributor could get to the tank. I would think this would probably be unusual, though, as most of these places have their propane delivered by tractor-trailor tankers and also have large tank trucks themselves. I've seen the delivery truck at the local distributor, and I admire his skill at being able to get into the yard where the storage tank is located, and back out. It's a tight squeeze, and I don't envy him. I wouldn't want to try getting my bus in and out of that yard. craig
