Placement of propane tanks

[schl0430]

Quick questions for all of you who have fish houses. I'm building a fish house and I was planning on mounting my propane tanks inside of the house. They would be in a cabinet up front that would be insulated and then have a vent cut in the side to allow air in from the outside. Is this recommended or should the tanks be mounted outside. I've heard conflicting stories and just wondering if anyone else has there tanks mounted inside. Thanks.

Outside!!!!

Do NOT have your tanks inside. Mount them oustide.

I totally agree, put them outside. You could not put a big enough vent in to make that safe.

Haveing them inside is just not safe, and I have not figured out the advantage of keeping them inside.

Federal and State RV code requires exteral mounting of all propane tanks.

Related question...My heater and stove will be about 7 feet from the front of my trailer. Should I mount my tanks in front and run a gas line 7+ feet or should I just run a line out the side of the shack and place the tanks there. In the 2nd scenerio I would only have to run the lines a foot or so. I have 2 30# tanks.

Either way will work. Do what ever is more convienient for you. If it were me I'd mount em on the front. One less thing to dork around with when setting up.

I will mount outside, thanks everyone. Hopefully I can post some pictures of my house on here someday, I'm in the process of building a 19' house, 8 holes, should sleep 4, oven/stove, and other accessories. Been reading posts on here and they have been very helpful, thanks everyone for the tips, now I just have to figure out how to post pictures. Thanks again.

430 Hello,Im not sure how big your house is going to be but put pulls on both sides of your house.If your making a pull behind portable put the tanks between the front of house and tow vehicle.(If your rear ended on the road it may end up looking like something from iraq)jmtc..c63
