Jim, I deliver propane seasonally here in PA and like Klenger just said you can contact the local supplier in your area and they will sit a 100 gallon tank at your camper and give you a better price, at least they do here in PA.

There's all different kinds of propane tank gauges...you never have to run out because you didn't know. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&ke...l_47n79rqots_b

How do you calibrate those gauges? IOW, how does the gauge know if it's a 20 lb tank vs a 30 lb tank, and thus know whether it's half-full or 1/4 full?

I'm as geeky as the next guy but with the auto-switching valve on our 5th wheel, I don't see any reason to get a tank sensor. When one tank is empty, it automatically switches to the next tank and displays a red "flag" to let you know the original tank is empty. You then disconnect the empty tank, get it filled and rinse and repeat. IOW, I don't care how much propane is in the tank being used because I always have a second tank that's full. The Mopeka system is very cool though! I almost bought one before I started using the auto-switch valve and figured out how it worked.

All true, but it is nice to be inside and see that a tank is nearly empty.
For the poster that asked how Mopeka works, it uses a sonar type technology. When you install it on the bottom of a full tank, it then gauges usage from that Full point. It will supposedly read any tank, including 100lb MH tanks. I've found it to be spot on with my 30lb tanks.

I wonder if it would work on my black water tank?

I have 6 30# cylinders that we run in a rotation. When one is empty it goes into the truck, and once a week I go get them filled (this way I can go an entire week on one trip to fill up). Most trips in the cold of winter I have 3 or 4, and have had to do 5 a couple of times in the coldest temps (-6 to -1 at night, single digits daytime).
Pilot/Flying J offers a $0.10/gallon discount if you use their RV Plus card (generally comes out somewhere around $2.55 to $2.85/gallon). If you are in the Salt Lake area, State Trailer Supply on Redwood Road sells for $2.19/gallon. I use them when in the area. I had a couple of times when I went in and no one was on-site that was certified to fill tanks, or their system was out of order. There is a PFJ on 2100 South a couple of miles away from them.Editor - www.RamGunner.com and www.MomentumGunner.com

I totally agree. One of my tasks in the morning before working and in the afternoon after working is to check the indicator and swap out the empty tank if necessary. I only do it that often when we start using the furnace, otherwise I check it once a week in the summer. With cooking/baking we may use one tank in 2.5 to 3 months without the furnace.
