Where Can You Find Propane?

Common propane providers include independent propane companies, hardware stores, farm and ranch suppliers, RV dealerships, home improvement stores, campgrounds, convenience stores, and outdoor retailers. Not every location offers the same services, so verify whether they perform refills, exchanges, or both before making the drive.

ProPath Tip

Calling ahead can save time by confirming propane availability, pricing, and operating hours.

Refill vs. Exchange

Refilling your own cylinder is often the best value because you only pay for the propane added to your tank. Exchanges are fast and convenient but frequently contain slightly less propane than a completely full refill.

Finding RV-Friendly Propane

Motorhomes and travel trailers with permanently mounted ASME tanks require refill stations—not exchange cabinets. Look for businesses with enough clearance for larger vehicles and trained propane attendants.

Questions to Ask Before You Drive

  • Do you refill portable propane cylinders?
  • Can you fill permanently mounted RV tanks?
  • What are today's propane prices?
  • Do you inspect propane cylinders?
  • What are your operating hours?

Emergency Preparedness

During hurricanes, winter storms, and extended power outages, propane is commonly used for generators, grills, outdoor cooking, patio heaters, and temporary heat sources. Keeping your cylinders inspected and properly stored can help you stay prepared.
