If the OP has portable DOT cylinders, replacements are readily available- it's just retrofit valves for horizontal cylinders that are not.
I suspect the OP has portable tanks which look like THESE for $171.56
If OP has the above tanks, you may as well scrap them and buy new since the valves are specifically designed for the tanks.
I would doubt that the OP has TWO permanent tanks which would look like THESE, if OP DOES have this tank, there is NO NEED to replace unless damaged or severely rusted beyond safe usage.
While one would tend to think a motorhome or van would have permanent tanks it isn't out of the realm to have portable tanks instead..
It WOULD be helpful if OP posted a photo of the tanks in question...
