DOT regulations:
* No more than 90 pounds total in an enclosed vehicle. (Car, SUV, Van).
* No more than 45 pounds in a single cylinder in an enclosed vehicle. (Car, SUV, Van).
* Up to 1,000 pounds in an open bed pickup truck or trailer. (Has to be open, not enclosed).
* No special driver license needed, just a regular driver license.
In addition to DOT regulations:
* Most places will only fill a 100 pound cylinder if it is in a secure and upright position. Tied down with rope or strapped in the pickup bed. Not unsecured and rolling/moving around.
So, to haul around a 100 pound tank; just need a regular driver license, a pickup truck or open trailer, and some kind of way to secure the tank.
Thought at this size you actually need a certain driver's license and equipment to move these when filled with propane. I remeber someone here on slickdeals mentioning it yhey were propane delivery driver.

Damn that's a big tank. What yall doing with something this big?! How do you even safely transport it?
Winter-proof RVs. The regular RVs have regular tanks (usually 2 of them), but the winter-proof extra insulated ones have very large tanks since you're more than likely going to use a lot more fuel for heating. You usually have to "upgrade" to this tank size as the dealers will put the smaller ones on to lower the price.

Not really that impressive of a deal after comparing to Menards, this is their standard non-sale and non-rebate price. With the 11% off rebate...and Ohio's current tax holiday you could get a really good deal (assuming you're in Ohio...big assumption on my part). Either way that's a good price break if you're close to a Menards store with easier in and out of the store most likely. Upon review, It looks like this is an online only item at Costco.

While others have said Winterized RV's, you might also have one of these for a garage heater or something with a more semi-permanent heat source. Someone with more mild winters in the south would probably be able to easily use this for winter heat all winter long. It would also be a good heat source for a small tiny house or cabin with or without electricity. Having said that, depending on how easy it is to move them around, you might want to go with a smaller tank size. A google search said a full 100lb tank weighs about 170 lbs when full, not impossible to lift, but not a pleasant experience either.
In rural areas where natural gas is not available, many folks have propane furnaces, and electric powered well pumps and pressure tanks if there is no municipal water supply. For those not able to have their own water, there are tanker trucks that will bring you water. Propane companies will bring a truck out and fill your above ground or below ground propane tank which is 250, 500, 1000lb tank, often painted white.

I made a simple brace for my truck out of 2x4s that secured the bottom of the tank. I use four straps to secure the top.
