Can The Propane Tanks In My Older RV Be Used While Lying On Their Sides?
by William Arnold
(North Bend , WA.)
I have a 1993 Lance Camper, the old tanks lay on their sides in the compartment, I need to switch to new style OPD tanks can they lay on their sides as well?
ANSWER: Greetings William thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
I am afraid that without being able to see your current propane tank configuration, I would not be able to tell you if you can use the tanks while they are on their sides.
What I can tell you is that there is a very good chance that your current Propane Tanks can be retro-fitted with OPD Valves and re-certified for use in your camper.
For more information on the retro-fitting and re-certification process, please read the answers that I gave to the questions below.

Do Propane Tanks On RVs Need To Be Recertified After A Certain Amount Of Time?
When you are getting your propane tanks retro-fitted and re-certified, make sure you ask the technician about using them in the orientation they are currently in.
Hopefully this has been helpful to you.
