Just purchased a 1991 B Van and cannot find the propane tanks location? Anyone?

Frame mounted, passenger side, under the double doors

Under the unit on the drivers side about where the couch is inside.urs.

Agree with second response. My 91 was on drivers side. My 93 is on passenger side. Go figure!

Thanks everyone. Do they make a hose extension for easier access by chance?

Never had a problem getting my 91 or 93 tanks filled at qualified propane dealers.

In my 1993 Airstream 190 the propane tank is on the passenger side, under (and, I believe, slightly to the rear of) the side doors.

I found that due to the angle of the fill port most propane fill nozzles were pushed into the ground, making filling difficult at best. I thus purchased male and female fill-port fittings from a propane company, a schedule 80 black iron 45-degree pipe fitting from a plumbing company, and good quality Teflon tape, and constructed an angle adapter. Note that even 11 years ago, these parts totaled more than $40.

I later was told that such an adapter was included with our rigs when new. Included, at least, for those with the tank positioned as mine is; I believe some other years had the propane tank in a different location with a hatch for accessing it.

I've found my angle adapter to be extremely helpful and have used it every time I've filled the propane since then, except on those rare occasions when a station has their OWN angle adapter.

Interesting discussion. Never even looked at the angle of the fill on either the 91 or 93. I do remember now that twice on the 91 the filler had me drive up on a piece of 2x6.
could have been to get clearance for that angle.
