propane tank replacement

I have a 2005 cedar creek. Propane tank it is outdated. Can I use 20 lb tanks? It would be easier for me to lift in and out.

I wish mine had some sort of gauge to tell me how full/empty they are.

If your hoses are long enough then yes or you can just go and get the tank recertified and good for another 10 years.

Usually 5 yrs here in the states.

You guessed it. Google: recertify propane

What does the recertifying of the tank entail?

as long as you can modify the hold down brackets if need be, pressure will be the same no mater what size the tanks are. they will not last as long but the difference in price may be neglagble, look on line and see what the price difference would be. what size tanks are there now? they can also be recertified @ authorized propane fill stations and that may be a better option too. jmho

You can use any legal propane tank. I downsized from 7.5g to 4.5 for the same reason.. easier on this old back. And if I get in a bind, I can use those exchange stations.

Tank can be recertified at a propane distributer for just a few $$$ and don't really need to be replaced unless damaged or extremely rusty. No problem using 20# and I do all of the time but you have to handle/change out more often depending on use. My tanks are 40# and I get a workout changing them. Randu
