When I bought my motorcoach I didn`t fill up the propane tank on my 88 bounder to check the appliances and it is bone dry. It is all winterized and in dry storage, is there a way to either fill the tank or partially add to it without driving the coach to a place and having someone fill it up? I have just been way to busy to mess with it since I bought it, but I`d like to check the stove and furnace with out having to drive it somewhere. Thank for your advice and input.

You might look for one of the Extend-a-Stay kits for the coach and hook up a normal 20# bottle to the system.

There is no practical way to add propane to the tank, but you can use the Extend-A-Stay add-on propane Tee as Ken suggests.

Thank you guy! I will try that. I guess there would be no harm in getting another tank as a back up anyway. I`m not sure how many gallons or pounds the 1 attached to the coach is but a backup is a good thing. Thanks again.
