LP Gas Tanks
Has anyone changed out there 20 lb. tanks for 30lb. tanks.....I do some fall camping since I am a hunter where the nights get pretty chilli and was thinking about going to 30 pounders.....looks like I would have to get a longer gas hose as well as a taller "rod" that holds the tank brackets in place.
Just wondering if that would be everything.

Mine came with 30# tanks but yes they are tall. That sounds like everything though.

sounds like taller rod and longer gas hose sounds about right hmmmm what did i just say?
longer ready bolt for mount should do it .
do you have a tank cover ? 30 lb. cover would be bigger .

If you are going to 30 lb tanks why not go all the way and install 40# tanks.

One reason is weight. If you have to take out to fill 40# tanks, they get really heavy when full. Maybe 40# Aluminum tanks?

also if you are out camping some more rural spots might have exchange system rather than fill so if you where in a bind and needing propane can always find a walmart open late and exchange a 20lber, now on my camper it has a long threaded rod Im guessing for ease of manufacting one rod threaded on both ends so it is adjustable for height same kit for different tanks.

Ended up changing the hose to a one foot longer hose and a longer threaded post.....Had a tougher time finding the right hose than I thought I would, so I went to a custom hose shop and had one made for a mere $14.00......works great. Only took probably 10 minutes to complete once I got the parts.

IF YOU HAVE CHILLI YOU WILL HAVE MORE GAS! 
AND YOU MAY NEED A BIGGER TANK!
