Ralph,

I always take my Westy for propane to the kind of  U-Haul Rental outlet
which has the repair shop. Avoid the kind of outlet which is attached to
another business.  The "regular" outlet has a series of propane hose
attachements, one of which fits the Westy, usually.  I stand there and
observe, ready to correct and to murder, if necessary, while the usually
competent person fills the tank with no more than 3 gallons, at, usually,
the best price in any market.
