Propane Tank - Laying down for transport?
Can I transport a 20lb propane tank on its side in my 5th wheel basement? I know I will have to secure it from rolling around, but the height with it standing up is the issue I have.

Not safely.
Doing so will disable the safety mechanisms built in for your protection.
If you're just wanting to carry some backup propane, you might consider an 11-lb. vertical like this one. Same width as the twenty, under a foot tall, a little over half the capacity. Enough to give you a couple days to fill your main tanks, and easy to store. I bought one for the same purpose and it's worked very well for me.
