Can these tanks be recertified ? I’m

Good luck trying to find someone that will recertify these tanks. Assume that you'll only get 4-5 years of refills out of the tank

can it be stored horizontaly?

No, this tank cannot be stored horizontally if it has propane in it. Horizontal tanks are spicifically for that purpose.

We have the regular 7 gal. tanks in our trailer. How much do these tanks hold?

It may be worth looking into the 22 pound version of the tank for your RV.

This would be perfect for anything outdoor obviously. But I use it to fuel my torch attachment to burn weeds. Easy to carry.

Looks great but

I got the tank today 5/5/23 and noticed it has to be reinspected in 5 years. Ok fine. Then I noticed my inspection date on the tank started 11/22 so I lost basically half a year. Seems like I’m due a percentage back or a tank where I get a full 5 year service like the ad says but I know that’s probably not going to happen so a 1 star review it is. Kinda pricey for it not to be what it’s suppose to be.

Now We're Cooking With Gas - Literally!

This so much better than the typical steel tank. This is lightweight and well constructed. Empty, it can easily be lifted by two fingers, it's not appreciably heavier when full. The semi-transparent composite tank makes it easy to see the tank level. We bought this for our RV and it's a perfect size.
