To operate an RV with the standard type tanks inside (and that included my 5
pounder) is illegal according to NFPA codes. However, portable devices have
exemptions.  Most fire codes have the 1 pound disposables under the portable
devices rules for use in ventilated areas. (not for bathrooms or bedrooms)

When I use my five pound tank, it is attached to the fridge and sits outside
the van (portable fridge).

Rest of my system is 1 pound bottles.
