INCREASING lpg capacity ?
Are older tanks worth the effort or the expense? Does anyone actually check dates of manufacture ? Best to just buy new ? Best deals ?

I thought you had asked this question months ago on a previous post? Well, anyway, You must have a LP Genset. Increasing the Motorhome ASME tank capacity which would mean replacing the existing tank would probably NOT yield much more gallons for the cost. Ballpark of a new 100 lb ASME tank is about $1200 to $1500, then labor. That yields 25 gallons Liquid LP. 20 to 22 hours of LP genset operation. HOW big is your existing tank? Years ago, Airstream (1980 to 1982) built a Class A(26 or 28 forget which) Diesel with an Isuzu Diesel engine up front in place of the Chevy 454. They installed 2 ASME LP tanks. Small one on left side up(For all LP appliances except Genset) and a larger one(for LP Genset) on the right side up front. Your model A/S, there will be no way to add an AMSE tank unless you take out some lower outside Storage compartments. Doug
