<p>My left stove burner works fine, however the right one spews propane through the front vent hole (right above the knob) when the valve is open. Desperately trying to find someone locally to isolate problem and repair. The keyword would be <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>locally</strong></span>, without having to drive 100+ miles.</p>

I'm starting this thread b/c last week, Romy and I ran out of propane in our small propane tank that mounts underneath the bus on the passenger side. When we bought our bus in 2006, it still had propane in there, and we ended up using it all up. We use it mainly for a small Northstar catalytic heater we installed in the back area, to warm up the bus when we winter camp. We never had to deal with propane before, so we were kinda confused on where to go and fill it up. Some gas stations have…
I'm starting this thread b/c last week, Romy and I ran out of propane in our small propane tank that mounts underneath the bus on the passenger side. When we bought our bus in 2006, it still had propane in there, and we ended up using it all up. We use it mainly for a small Northstar catalytic heater we installed in the back area, to warm up the bus when we winter camp. We never had to deal with propane before, so we were kinda confused on where to go and fill it up. Some gas stations have propane, but we ended up going to a place called Kamps Propane in Hayward off Depot Rd, which only specializes in propane, like for RVs or BBQ tanks, etc. They charged $15.99 for the first 5 gallons, no matter if you filled up only 1 gallon or all 5, and then $3.60 (or something close) for each additional gallon. We weren't sure how large our tank was, so we filled it up there. We ended up filling only 2.3 gallons. I think our tank is max 2.5 gallons, so it was basically empty. The man working there said that we could've brought another tank with us and got up to 5 gallons for $15.99. Moral of the story is, next time we need to fill up, we can bring another bus propane tank with us and split the cost! Because I think it was kind of expensive for just the 2.3 gallons we ended up taking.<br />

Can anyone recommend a good gas station or other propane place they've gone to for the next time we need to fill up the tank? Hopefully the replies will benefit any one else who is in need of refilling their propane tank and doesn't know where to go.
