Home Depot? Lowes?

Lowes can order in one for you. Propane tanks are not always the easiest to get delivered, as they are a hazmat issue. I ordered mine online and had it shipped to store. Try Ace Hardware also, they had a better price.

You can just buy one from blue rhino bin out front, and then not return it. They charge you for the tank anyways unless you bring back a tank to turn in.

No you can not. Those are 20 lb tanks. The 5 lb have to be ordered.

Although wildly expensive, but in a pinch i have gone to WestMarine and grabbed some stuff. They have the worthington stainless tankes, verticle small. made for boats obviously....but again, expsnive, however if you want to get some hands on it its a place to see them.

I think the 5lb tanks are expensive, stainless or not!

I have been looking at getting one for my smitty trailer but after watching my buddy heater suck down 1 gal in 2 hours, i think maybe bigger is better for my setup.

what are you running with the 5 gal? just a stove or anything else?

I just run my stove off the 5lb. When I upgrade to heaters and such, I’ll also mount a 20lb.

Just as a reminder on those 1lb tanks - get the adapter to refill them from the larger propane tanks. It's easy, and prevents us from having to dispose them. I've been doing that recently to keep a couple of the green 1lb'ers in my ARB drawers.

I too have a 5lb tank on my trailer. Definitely works out nicely for long weekends.

I use a Viking 11lb composite tank and love it. Really nice to be able to visually see how much propane is left.
