Subject:      heaters and propane

Volks, I've been wanting to install a vented propane heater in my bus for some time. One thing I am wondering about though. Those of you that have installed them, are you using the stock propane tank? The little dinky one? My '73 Safare has a slightly larger tank than the Westy (3 gallons) but I don't think I could get more than two nights worth of heat out of it. If I'm camping in the snow in the boonies for a week, how the heck am I gonna get propane? Has anyone installed a larger tank in their bus? I was thinking about installing another small tank on the other side of the bus, opposite the existing one, for maybe 4 nights worth of heat, but even this is not ideal. I'd like to have 1-2 weeks worth of heat. What to do?

-David
