Horizontal 20 lb. propane tanks.
Okay, now I'm confused. I just got an email ad from a particular RV vendor and they are selling horizontal 20 lb. propane tanks for $157. What is the deal and why would they be so much more expensive ...

All removable containers are cylinders, while tanks are
"Built to ASME Code for permanent mounting on motorized recreational vehicles."
Whenever members here, or suppliers slap their tongue without thinking is another story.
I guess I am still missing something.
DOT Tanks (per DOT & ASME Propane Tank Differences)
Recertification Period are 12 Years after Manufacturing, then every 5 Years
Designed for Portable Applications
Design & Standards Governed by Department of Transporation (DOT)
The tanks in my 5th wheel (horizontal) are removable as are the tanks in my TC (vertical). Both must be recertified as above.
My read on the DOT & ASME Propane Tank Differences is the ASME tanks are not designed to be moved when full, and the DOT tanks are designed for Portable Applications. Both are referred to as "tanks".
I guess I am missing something?
