Class C built in propane tank.

I want to replace my propane tank. It is old from 1998 and looks very rusted. I know my valve leaks and the fill place added a secondary valve to it years ago.

At one time I had a contact in Phoenix AZ for propane tanks and there prices were very reasonable. I thought it was no big deal to buy when ready. Now when I search and I cant find the company and it has been too long. Also the prices I am finding are very high in the $500 range.

Is there any great place to buy a replacement propane tank that I can order or looking local Phoenix area. I could swear if found them for around $150 back then.

Thanks,

Curtis
Class C

    I'll figure out the correct sizing when I order. What I was hoping for was another RV'er having a recommendation on a preferred company that sells them at a discount.

    The valve leaked during fill and I had to fully open or it leaked halfway open. I think 7 gallon but probably not exactly that.


    Well you have to know the size in order to replace it. $400-$500 or so is about average today for a 10 gal horizontal built in tank.
