I have the money to buy more propane now, but I do *not* have the money to buy a whole conversion kit to make it so I can attach a portable tank to my RV. It is my only place of living and it is still very cold here, plus I can't cook or have hot water without it (and electric heaters don't cut it; not even close!)
I'm a bit panicked here. I have 1/4 tank left which will not last long and I have called every single company in the phone book. Nobody delivers to RVs now because the tanks attached to them are too small for them to make profit with the damned gas prices!
These can't be my only options. Where else can I look? Conversion kits cost upwards of $150, which I will not have before this runs out, plus I will have to pay someone to install it for me and then the actual tank is $40, if I want the smallest one which will have me driving to refill it once or twice a week.
I work two jobs, and have applied for cash assistance, but I can't get a big enough loan either. Help!

I don't know what to tell ya bro, it sounds like you will have to buy the conversion kit somehow. I do not live in an RV but I do realize that gas prices are through the roof right now and most of us are struggling at the gas pumps along with ya, I fill up my tank every week just to get back and forth to work, and basic shopping/driving and it costs me round $300/month just for gas and I don't make but 300/wk so they basically keep one of my checks just for gas. It sucks man it really does, you may have to borrow some money from cash advance (title loan/check advance), here ya borrow 275 and pay back 305 in a month which sucks but it's what I've had to do several times in the past couple years when I don't have enough money to put gas in my truck to get to work.
