I still use the bottles, about $16.00 around here to fill one, but I am going to plumb mine into our 250 gal propane tank this year. No more bottles to worry with.

When I need to fill my propane tanks I take them to the amish where I live at. If you have amish by you take your tanks there. The amish where I live at are cheaper than the hardware store.

Good idea, I have natural gas pipes all over the place in this old house, I bet that I could get the hose and fittings at Lowes for my gas grill.

Someone tell me what they do when they "purge" a tank. The only logical thing I can think of is pulling a vacuum on the tank to pull out any air or nitrogen purge they have on the tank.

"Purge" is the same thing what changing tire air from winter to summer.

If you are still not sure you understand -ask your wife That's a very important maintenance procedure, especially with trailers and towing and weight and weather and... oh heck, just change the air already!

WRONG. The prices around the World are pretty steady. Think about it.
Propane is $3.20 at CA FlyingJ. For how long?
BTW the propane tank I bought at Costco was "prepurged" what I still consider a fraud, since nothing like that is technically necessary.
When I was remodeling my coach, I had the 60 gallons tank sitting with valve removed for couple of months. Than after new valve installetion I just filled it up and used. No problemo.
Bearnkat is not wrong, you are. Propane prices have gone way up.
