I still take my tanks to Rosarito--far cheaper than filling them stateside (why would anyone take full 5 gallon tanks INTO Mexico????)
Pompano---wonderful picture--much nicer than the white ones you have been posting--but then I hate ice unless it is in a glass.

WHAT? I don't belive this. My Lance cabover camper is designed to carry two 5-gallon propane tanks (enclosed with access from the side).

That is outside the living space with NO inside access. Many would not consider a compartment accessed only from outside to be considered inside.

Lou is Correct.
The "Designed" spaces for Propane tanks in a Camper or motorhome are sealed from inside access (the hole through which the copper tubing passes is
even caulked) AND vent to the outside. There is NO DOUBT that carrying filled tanks in an enclosed camper is illegal in California. The Propane
dealer has refused to fill them when I brought them down inside a camper, stating that the fine was in the THOUSANDS of dollars.

Well, that is fasinating-------
----I always take my propane tanks into be filled inside the trunk of my car, and nobody has ever said boo about it. Of course, I remove them while
they are being filled, but then they go right back in the trunk-------so I am breaking the law???

Don't know if you're breaking a law but it is not SAFE. If a container starts to vent or leak the trunk will fill with gas and any spark means
trouble.

The trunk of my car isn't classed as a "habitable space". Is yours?

This is direct from the California State website:
CA 239-404.569Aa; Exemption from regulations against transporting flammable propane pressure vessels within an enclosed pick-up truck bed.
1. Transporters of such substances as mentioned abaove shall be exempt from prosecution if they leave the f-ing window open.

Since propane is heavier then air,it should never be in an enclosed,not vented area. Reason you don't find propane on boats. Fumes collect in the
bilge and it's asking for trouble.

Maybe the RV drifted out there by itself and they are stranded on a desert island. 
I sent them an e-mail but they haven't answered yet.

Propane on Boats
Actually, you do see propane on boats, especially outside of the United States. In the U.S., LNG is usually available in or near the marinas, but in
other countries it is harder to find so propane is much more common. A legal installation has the propane in a sealed cabinet with an automatic
electric shutoff valve. I leased three different sailboats in the Caribbean and all three used propane for cooking. Like many other dangerous
commodities, it is all in how it is handled.
