CAMPER VAN PROPANE OPTIONS - Reduce your contribution to land fills & save money

- We’ve had no regrets whatsoever after purchasing this refillable propane tank. With how often we use propane, this should pay for itself within 2 years and we get to feel good knowing we’re not contributing to land fills as much. Though the 20 lb. version of propane tanks is much easier to find, this 5 lb. one stores very conveniently in our space-limited camper van. You too can save money while reducing your environmental footprint buy using one of these instead of single-use cannisters.

I have the 5lb tank. I store it in a 5 gallon bucket. Fits perfect with enough room for the hose and as an added bonus the bucket can be used for multiple tasks.
Good idea - thanks for sharing!
Great video. We always feel guilty using the disposable 1 lb bottles. Plus they’re not always easy to find. We just purchased a 5 lb bottle but haven’t used it yet. It definitely takes up a lot less space than 5 one pound bottles.
Congrats - we’re guessing you’re going to love that thing. Turn the valve off a minute or so before you’re done cooking and it will burn the last bit of gas in the hose.
Would love to find one of those little 5 lb tanks here in Canada! ---- never mind found them here. 😅 I didn't realize they were allowed in Cda. Good to find out.
Oh good. Yeah we linked some in our description as well. Good luck!
Hi Tim and Shannon - we have been watching your videos for almost 2 years - we bought a van last summer - a Ford Transit 350. We have been distracted the last months and have not paid much attention to van-anything, on hiatus as the floor guy had a family emergency and was unable to install the flooring before winter... I just saw that you took the ferry up to Alaska 9 days ago and are wondering where you are now? We are in the Yukon - and wondered if you would like to stop in shower or anything - we would love to hear of your adventures et al! Let me know!
This is so cool!! Thanks for reaching out! Sorry about your floor. Got your other message - We’ll send you an email! 😀
Is it safe to keep the propane tank on the inside of the vehicle?
Hi Caleb - That's a tough one and we are definitely not authorities on that. We accept the risk of doing that but for yourself, I suggest if it's a concern for you that you talk to someone who knows more about it, like maybe at a propane filling station. Ask them what they think and make your decision from there. Thanks for watching!
@@TimAndShannonLTD cool thanks for the advice, I have a minivan camper so it’s more convenient for me if I can keep it on the inside and since I already have to keep my vents open all day to prevent mold I figure it shouldn’t be that bad, and my carbon monoxide detector should help with the worry
@@LordofStormsEnd Yes, vents open will definitely help. Carbon Monoxide detector will help when using it, but I don't know if it detects unburnt propane (like if the tank was leaking) but maybe there is a sensor available for that as well which would be a good thing to add.
@@TimAndShannonLTD hmmm yeah I guess that won’t work for gas leaks, thanks 🙏
@@LordofStormsEnd 👍
