Jeff, two points, the green tanks can be refilled with an adapter available from Harbour Freight and possibly other locations.  I keep one in the van along with two green tanks that I can refill from the Westy tanks I have or from a barbecue tank.  That portable fridge can run off of the green tanks, barbecue tanks or your Westy tanks.  It's all int the fittings and adapters which are all available at propane supply places.
