Refilling propane tank

Is there an easy way to fill the propane tanks on the BC? The only way I can see is to loosen the tank hold down and lift the tanks in and out. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

You aren't missing anything, that's how it's done.

A bit awkward, until you see someone who is hauling 40 lb. Tanks to Harbor Freight to fill. Woof.

Tow your BC to a propane place and then act really, really, really helpless. Maybe the person there will lift it for you.
