All Camping World supercenters sell propane, and on one weekday (Wed I think) they sell at a discount.
Pilot/Flying J sell propane at the RV lanes.

I can tell you where you don't want to go - U-Haul.
I wss checking prices in my area and found a mom and pop selling it for $1.73.
U-Haul is charging $2.99.

That was part of my concern. I have run into places like U-Haul that have a tank, charge a bundle, and don't know what they are doing because the fill about 1 or 2 motorhomes per year.

I've come across normal gas stations in Oregon that can fill motor homes. Just a few miles south in California gas stations won't touch on board tanks.
So having a big tank that says "PROPANE" isn't always a sure thing.

I have not had much difficulty in *finding* propane, but the lack of standardization is often annoying-- you know, the left side - right side thing.

One website that I found that is a little useful is http://altfuelprices.com
Problem is that many stations are out of date but some are reasonably recent and it does provide a number to call.
In my case I called a station that showed a good price and only a few weeks old and I asked the current price and if they fill motohomes.

i know two locations offering cheap propane:
- chevron gas station in reedsport, or right on 101 next to mcdonalds; $1.50/g.
- arco gas station (?) in west of sequim, wa towards port of angels on 101; $1.38/g.
on the other side of the story, almost all of vendors in sf bay area are selling it well above $4 per gallon.

You can get a PIO file for your GPS(assume you have one) and get the navigation to the propane station too. Use google maps too, but in my search they don't have them all.

When traveling we would usually get propane at Flying J when we needed it, along with fuel. The price was always reasonable, but this Summer we stopped at one somewhere in the Midwest off I 40 and the price was extreme. I guess nothing can be taken for granted anymore.

That's how I locate propane sellers if/when I need propane.

FWIW the question was not just propane sellers. I started the thread to point out sellers that could easily handle a motor home and especially one's that could do it with a towed on. That takes good access plus an operator who knows what they are doing. Most of the sellers I have run into are good at barbecue tanks but not so good at anything else.
In addition the one in Geneva is close to the Thruway and Rt 96 both of which get a lot of traffic from cross state vehicles and is a gateway into NY wine country.
