Yes I know you have less gas but I use the camp electric for most utilities and occasionally use gas for cooking or heat and don`t fill but once every 1 1/2 seasons. You could always ask the guy next door to help you out putting them in.

Don't forget the need for 2 new much longer pigtails, replacing the ridiculously short OE supplied and that the retaining straps need to be moved or replaced to hold 20 pound tanks.




I would have a problem with composite tank pricing at well over 2x cost of the common steel versions. Nice, but I can still lift the old ones1-2 times a year
