Doesn't sound like the Revcon has enough vertical clearance for a 20 #
tank on end. Any chance of revamping the space to make it high enough?
Some of the GMC folk have switched to the 20# vertical tanks, but I don't
know if it required a mod to the LP space or not.

Haven't actually installed a20# tank in the LP compartment, but have thought about it, and measured and I think they will fit. The shoulder of the tank should fit under the overhang in the back.
FWIW
