Yes a 30 pound tank will mount just fine. Been running one for three years. Didn't have to change a thing.

I have done both. I have two tanks. The new one that came with the Pod and and one that I have traded a couple of times. It depends which is cheaper. There is a local store that puts trade ins on sale for $10. When they do I trade my older one. The new one I get filled at costco for $11. I take both tanks with me but I do not have a dual tank rig so I have to physically change over tanks. ]]> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:57:33 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3599&PID=34197#34197 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3599&PID=34196#34196 Author: hogone

Do most of you re-fill your tank or just use trade-ins?  Just curious.  Trade-ins at wallymart are $17.95, not sure how much a re-fill is?  I thought I read somewhere though in a prior post that you actually get more gas from a re-fill vs a trade-in (pounds).  I do have the original pod tank, but have used refills as well.  ]]> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:44:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3599&PID=34196#34196 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3599&PID=34195#34195 Author: TerryM

I just thought of something else.  The "older" style of tanks can no longer be used.  So you may be out of luck anyway.  Take the old tank to a place that fills them and they can tell you if you can use it or not.

Yes, absolutely. The 30 pound tank will fit in the holder without problem. You may have to replace the tiedown strap with a longer one, tho. And, of course, the tank cover (if your dealer provided one) will have to be replaced.

When you say 'old one', don't forget that a tank is only certified for 10 years of use. It is possible to get it recertified for another 5 years beyond that, but the cost is well on the way to purchasing a new tank.]]> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 07:50:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3599&PID=34193#34193 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3599&PID=34182#34182 Author: 21grandma

Can the 20 gal lp tank be replaced with a 30 gal? Our son has one from his old camper.]]> Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:46:44 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3599&PID=34182#34182
