I know the displays on my boat are only rated for a storage temperature of -4.

Sunday temps are suppose to get down to -20. I'm gonna look and see if they sell a thermostat that goes down lower then 50. I think keeping at 35 would be ideal.

Thanks all for your responses. I was thinking I could put a hose from the fill on the RV LP tank to a portable bottle. Turn the bottle upside down and open the valve and the liquid would flow into the RV tank. I know if its in a standing position only the gas will flow until pressure is equalized.
That's why those refill adapters don't work, When you turn the bottle over the safety device inside shuts off the flow. If you don't find a mobile supplier & have to plumb it talk to the supplier bout renting a 100# bottle, I did that a few winters ago & save a lot of trips to refill 30#ers.
