But...I need a way to keep them separated so I don't end up blowing myself up. So, where do you guys store LP tanks and batteries? Separate small out buildings maybe? I'd like to see what others have done.

Next to them in separated enclosures are the charge controller to the left and the inverter to the right. Propane cylinders (40#) are 40 feet away from the corner where the pipe enters the cabin. Metal walls surround to hide from obvious view.
