I Have big tanks on the mainland... sitting on well over 500 gallons between the two cabins... I hate the big semi annual fuel bills and having that much fuel on hand.
On the road in the sail boat we carry a two or 2 1/2 gallon aluminum. When you get to port, out comes the folding bike, tank fits in a backpack, light enough to be doable ---- I do think about being hit by a car .... and the resulting great get even...... Places like panama this system works well. (so do xintex propane alarms)
Here up in the acres I have two propane systems... one feeds the whole house flash heater, the other feeds the outside shower. I keep three of the 5 gallon bottles in rotation ... knowing if I get lazy the outside shower bottle can be swapped out to keep the house going for another couple of weeks
I like the acres setup best
I would rather be educated than protected
