RV Living - How to refill your propane tank without moving your RV

[@PippiPeterson]

Here is the propane connection I showed: amzn.to/2RyLUsm

[@ericdee6802]

Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Kind regards, Eric Dee

[@dixieguitarking402]

Once you get that propane connection you link to, what do you hook it up to on your tank?

[@NQuiz52]

I am excited about getting my first RV and live in it for a year, but I need to talk to someone like you who is actually doing it first.

[@MrKylebecker]

Pippi Peterson, thank you for the heart. I indeed found that information quite useful and the delivery was well worth watching.

[@overlycreative1]

Just way too good for words, no teleprompter, original information, complete A-Z presentation. Charming personality. Thank you again.

[@PippiPeterson]

overlycreative1 Thank you so much :)

[@smuferchick9391]

Could you do a video on you actually filling your RV with your propane tank. I'm considering doing this but I have no idea how to go around setting it up

[@TroyD-vo1bz]

Well-researched and presented for someone who is really not a technical person. You did a great job.

[@TruthEarthOrg]

Hank Hill approves this video.

[@kylealbrecht1399]

My dad says butane is a basterd gas

[@TrailingSkies27]

Hank sells propane and propane accessories.

[@helenafield1524]

Holy cow Pippi, You seriously are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you again so much. I am learning so much from you about RV living and it is making my decision to go ahead and purchase a Motorhome for my daughter and I to live in full time. I love all that you do and all the info and instructions that you give. You are a very special woman and am happy to watch your videos and learn from you. Once again thank you for all that you do and teach. God Bless

[@PippiPeterson]

Helena Field Thank you Helena. Good luck to you and your daughter :)

[@charliestealth4238]

23 years of doing propane and i watched you whole video and did not get bored,loved it

[@PippiPeterson]

Charlie Stealth Thank you, that means a lot to me. I really appreciate your feedback :)

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

I've seen guys on KZbin turn those old propane tanks into air tanks for pumping up tires. Its actually pretty neat. Lol. Great video!!!!!

[@r.d.ontheroad-1094]

Hi Pippi, great job, ---- one note, -- if your tank is out dated, just take it and turn it in on a refilled tank at Walmart or such,, they always have to have them upgraded to sell, and thanks for the hose hookup adapter,

[@herberar]

Georgia Yankee is absolutely correct . Safety first. You're the man.

[@Swing4TheRing]

I use to watch the Magic School Bus when I was a kid and Mrs. Frizzle taught me so much in that cartoon... Now I have Ms. Pippi to teach me as I take a ride on the Magic RV Rig!

[@PippiPeterson]

Swing4TheRing :D

[@stattoo32]

Is she the cutest human being ever, or what?! Plus she is smart, that helps!!

[@dovemaarika1668]

brother🙄

[@TheRjjrjjr]

I'm new to RV'ing, this was much needed information, thanks!

[@PippiPeterson]

+TheRjjrjjr Great, that's good to hear. Glad you're getting something out of them! :D

[@dmlewis3]

Very clear info there, Pippi. I believe someone may have mentioned that filling from the DOT tank will not empty the smaller one, but since you depicted cooking outdoors with it, that is clearly the way to make use of the remainder.

[@fillg]

Thanks for the info. Here's something else to consider, if you're using a 20 pound tank and it passes its certification date you can still trade it in at one of those tank exchange things like Blue Rhino or similar. They have all of the required equipment to recertify them in-house so it doesn't hurt them any. Pound for pound they're more expensive than getting a tank refilled since they only give you 15 pounds but it's a cheap way to get a tank with current certification.

[@RebelCowboySnB]

Yep... Any time I needed a new one I would get an old one from someone an trade it in at the gas station. Old ones are everywhere.

[@PippiPeterson]

fillg I would not like to have Blue Rhino but others are ok. Great input, thank you!

[@donhumphreys7550]

Pippi: I happened to pause your video at 0:01/4:13 and OMG. You have to be the prettiest girl on KZbin. What a beautiful smile and such a wonderful personality. You're doing great! Keep it up!

[@dmlewis3]

Crisp presentation there. Nothing unnecessary, well-organized dotted the i's.

[@rvsc2277]

This needs another thumbs up. ty and take care

[@tscottme]

I learn so much from your videos and you seem so sweet and happy it's a joy to watch them. Keep up the good work. I'm trying to decide between RVs or Tiny Houses.

[@PippiPeterson]

tscottme Awesome, best of luck with your decision :)

[@uwayzofoster4753]

Wow, great info Pippi! Thank you for such an in-dept explanation about propane/tanks. I would have never known this without your video! Thanks again!

[@wanderinmoose5534]

Howdy Pippi, It looks like you have learned quite a bit about propane !! You have given other RVers a very knowledgeable and important lesson on propane . You are a very smart woman, keep up the great work and videos. Happy Trails.....John

[@PippiPeterson]

Wanderin' Moose Thanks so much, John :)

[@_S-O-S_]

Very nicely done... Very informative and also nice to see a young lady educating herself and others on RV know how... Good job!

[@PippiPeterson]

***** Thank you :D

[@MsRobinSurf]

Cool! I'd been pondering this issue, as a newbie, and you answered most my questions. Keep on truckin', girl!

[@PippiPeterson]

MsRobinSurf Awesome, I'm glad to hear it. Happy trails! :D

[@shadowboycool]

great video pippi. love the videos. watch them for the info but your smile keeps me coming back

[@PippiPeterson]

***** :D

[@TubeDeviant]

And for the sake of redundancy and for emergencies, keep a few MSR "Pocket Rocket" portable stoves as a backup.. They run off of the one pound Coleman propane tanks.. There are also other portable/camping stoves which are multi-fuel, which is practical, versatile, and a bit more flexible in emergencies..

[@FDM33510]

I have been sub'd for a couple of years and always like tuning in from time to time, to see how/what you are doing and see that BEAUTIFUL smile! Have a Blessed Day! Eric

[@PippiPeterson]

Thanks Eric, come back often! :D

[@garysmedley6263]

You have a wonderful camera presence and are truly entertaining and enjoyable to watch. You also seem to have an excellent understanding of your subject matter. I am seriously considering purchasing a motor home and your site is very helpful. Keep up the good work and know that you are appreciated.

[@socks1949]

You should be paid for giving such information Ms. Peterson. You are the ideal public relation person.

[@PippiPeterson]

Thanks Wayne :)

[@socks1949]

You are welcome.

[@chuckgoedicke7547]

[@mervynsingh827]

Great video, Pippi! I actually learned a couple of things that will better prepare me for when i hit the road full-time next year.

[@PippiPeterson]

Mervyn Singh I love to hear this. That's why I'm doing these. :) Best of luck and happy trails.

[@ZeroEntropy.]

I have been with you since you started, you have some really great and informative videos, I'm always shocked that no mater what I search from scobi to motorhome you have something I'm looking for. I also have a 1996 Fleetwood so your stuff always applies to me. Let me know if you ever need video ideas, I have tons.

[@PippiPeterson]

+vexedne Haha, scoby to motor home. Thanks a bunch and thanks so much for being part of the community ☺️

[@TheMoreWeExplore]

Super helpful info Pippi!

[@PippiPeterson]

themoreweexplore Glad to hear :D

[@stevemontoya6947]

Pippi, I am a big time rv guy but I didn't know the difference between the two tanks. Thanks for the education.

[@PippiPeterson]

steve montoya Great, I'm happy to hear you've learned a tid bit from me :)

[@robertmarsh4732]

It's nice to see you did your homework on this issue. Excellent presentation!

[@RPMComputer]

I think I would tie into the main propane line and split it off to have a separate connection for the little Dot tanks can be added on the fly. You would have to have a professional heating guy do this so know one blows up though......:) I think 5th wheels and others have a couple tanks on the tongue and there is a valve to switch from one the other so when one runs out the other is available. Well same for your RV have a switch to resort to the smaller tanks that are easier to fill.

[@RedbrushDan]

Thanks for a clear and knowledgeable presentation. You answered several of my questions.

[@WestCoastRoller]

Great information there...well put together.. thank you.

[@PippiPeterson]

WestCoastRoller Thank you so much :D

Good information Pippi. Great job. Buying a used propane cylinder can be a good deal if the price is right and it still has a few years of certification left. Also, my favorite RV shop recertified my old cylinders for free.

[@JoeFeser]

Nicely produced and the warnings are nice. Trust me, propane can mess you up. In the 80/90s a "smart marketing department" decided to sell propane hibachi grills. Sadly, if the flame is hot and the gas goes out, when you open the lid, you catch on fire just like Michael Jackson. I lost my hair, eye brows and eye lashes. How did it happen? When I opened the lid, it was full of gas but the temp was higher than the ignition point. So poof, big flame.

[@TheHikercrone]

Maybe you can clear up some confusion for me. I have a 1985 Coachman [22'] with an installed propane tank. I keep hearing that I need some kind of adapter or even replace the tank? Anybody on this forum got any ideas?

Hello Pippi. I have just found your channel today and have watched your videos. You are like the happiest person ever.

Stellar job, Pippi! There's a great future for you in broadcast journalism or entertainment. Your personality really shines through. It also doesn't hurt that you are cute as a button, as well! Great content! Do you have a scrolling teleprompter? How else would you keep all that information in your head. Comes across as totally unrehearsed! Keep up the good work!

[@PippiPeterson]

moby4444 Thanks :) No teleprompter, all memory :)

[@rvbeginnerwinnebagoadventu6786]

Can you give a link to amazon or someplace for that adapter hose to transfer from DOT tank to the RV tank? Great video I learned so much, thank you. ah i found your answer...There are two brands I've heard of. One is called the Extend-a-Stay and the other is called the Stay-Awhile. FYI, it doesn't actually refill your tank but in a way uses your tank as an extension of a hose or tube. Maybe you could add your answers to all the questions in your text under the video?

Buy or get a free used 20 lb tank and go to an exchange location with pre-filled tanks. Now you have a newer tank that is regularly inspected and maintained.

[@michaelst.george9856]

You did your homework. Good job

[@Fudgieguys1969]

FYI, The 2001 edition of NFPA 58 (the LP-Gas Code) recognizes that horizontally oriented cylinders that were manufactured prior to October 1, 1998, are unable to be retrofitted with the OPD's. As a result of this fact, the Code now exempts these cylinders from having to be retrofit with OPD valves. Any such cylinder must have a label affixed to it to inform the user and the refiller that an OPD valve is not installed. ALL new cylinders manufactured after 1998 had the OPD valve so you can't over-fill 80 to 85%.

[@PippiPeterson]

Great thanks for the clarification!

[@Fudgieguys1969]

@@PippiPetersonMany folks don't understand the various codes and laws. Especially the transport of full or empty tanks in a vehicle. States differ in these rules and restrictions. But, you video are as always, very informed and educational.

[@dksta2346]

Please only use, transport,or store propane tanks that are not designed to be horizontal in the vertical position. Where rubber gloves and goggles when working with propane. Propane evaporates or boils off at -44 degrees F. Frostbite is a danger.
