Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Viking Cylinders

Was going through my May 2015 Trailer Life mag and saw an add for Viking Propane Cylinders.  Appears they have various sizes and they're lighter weight.  Anybody use these?  Are they worth it and is there any issue with getting them filled?

Thanks and happy trails.

A quick search on the internet and I am not finding 30# or 40# tanks that are normally used in RV's. The biggest I saw was a 17# tank that would be good for a grill, but not for an RV.

Did you find larger tanks somewhere?

I would go with one of these instead: www.homedepot.com/p/Worthington-Pro-Grade-30-lb-Empty-Propane-Tank-303954/202034841

Cheap and only 23.5 lbs. I've seen some 30lb (7.1 gallon) steel propane tanks that weigh 36-37 lbs.

7.1 gallon aluminum tanks are available but cost 3 times as much and weigh about 18lbs, so you're only saving about 5.5 lbs for over $100 price difference - about the same price difference as a 4.1 gallon Viking propane tank (10lbs) . www.vintagetrailersupply.com/30_Vertical_Aluminum_Tank_p/vts-169.htm
