search auto wreckers. They may have old propane vans that you can tank the tank out of. Thats how we got ours. Sanded it up and repainted it. Has been good for 3 years. Even got lucky. The mounts for the tank matched up perfectly with the floor braces. Was alot cheaper then going with a brand new one. Most RV places can order the brand new ones.

Ye would be nice to find used one, I have called around and are anywhere from 400 to 600 bucks, for that kind of money I will mount on front nose for mine.

You can switch out the valves pretty easy from a propane shop if necc
Believe it or not, the hose is more important. Make it look neat and professional and no one questions.
We found out that these tanks are not regulated like the BBQ tanks so if it was filled before, they will continue to fill it

yeah I found that funny that when I called our local propane shop, they told me they didn't need to be re certified either.

PM Blastoff, he may have written a few older MHomes off this year with the hail, and know where they went.
All of them would have had underslungs

Thanks man! i got my new tank today and installed it. I was able to buy a brand new one for half of what allan dale or anyone wanted and the wreckers there wasnt much to be had. Thanks for all the replys!

Yes I would be interested as how much you paid and where you got it from.
