Trailer: 17 ft Bigfoot
Posts: 9

Hello
We have gotten great info from this site, such as the web site of the rv park reviews. Great, use it all the time now. In fact we used the reviews to find a campground in Jersy City where we parked with a nice view of the Statue of Liberty, so thanks to all here and the fiberglass website.

So am wondering if there is a website that gives locations and prices of propane as my new used tug can burn propane. 70 gallon tank so every cent adds up. So if we fill the truck and our two 30 gallon trailer tanks and find a fill up spot that is 10 cents/gal cheaper we am looking at a $13 savings.

Rodney and Maria,

Welcome to FGRV.

I can't help with sites for LPG motor fuel (try Google), but I think your calculations are off a bit. The tanks on your Bigfoot are 30 pound, not 30 gallon. A 30 pound tank holds about 80% of 7.5 gallons of propane; about 6 gallons per tank. Another factor to consider is that you'll seldom fill both trailer tanks at the same time.

Truck stops sell propane. Some refrigerated semi trailers use propane. Check their websites. I just looked at Flying J and found propane prices listed with their gasoline prices.

Your CostCo does PROPANE???
Are these the preloaded 'swap-able' tanks?
I've not seen a CostCo with a propane refueling center....

The Costco in Prince George has a refilling station. I know it's a bit far away from you but you could check around to see which ones do this.
