Propane Tank Recertification

I have a Lance camper with two 20# removable horizontal propane tanks. I believe that these are the type of tank that requires recertification every 12 years or so. Is that correct?

I am also told that the special horizontal tanks on my Lance, which have brackets that keep them from rolling around in the Lance propane compartment, should not be replaced with cheaper "BBQ" style tanks. Is that correct?

Where would I go to have the recertification done? I live near Portland Oregon so I assume there must be somebody there that does this sort of thing?

Thanks and Happy Camping.

suburban propane stores will do a recert. Had them do that last year on a 1gal tank. IIRC cost was about E$20. Recert is good for 5 years. So, it really doesn't pay for recert on the common vertical 5 gal. propane BBQ tanks, since they are usually on sale as loss leaders.
