Bob,

The LPG sender on the Coachmen tanks is a standard item that's readily
available 'most anywhere that sells LPG components. When I turned the big
tank longitudinal in the X-Birchaven, it was a simple matter to remove the
fill valve, install a 90* elbow, and reinstall the fill valve. At the
time, I had captain's chairs mounted inboard of the repositioned tank so
that they leaned back over the new enclosure. This, and the two following
photos, show that it hardly interfered with anything despite its size.

I've since replaced those seats with a sofa/bed, necessitating replacement
of the big tank with a 6 g. one -- we don't miss the big one, but neither
cook nor go cold places. :-)
