I had to remove my tank to have a shut off valve installed, When it was done, we found it to be a 34 Gallon Tank.

your toy looks like it's in wonderful condition. did you have any problems with towing your car? I looked up LPG capacities in my '85 owners manual as I've not needed to fill up yet. For the 270 series its 82 lb, for the 325 and 345 it's 125 lb. How much does a gallon of LPG weigh?

Weight per gallon = 4.24 pounds I think the larger rigs have 2 tanks, My control panel has 2 guages, one tank... I do not have a Tow Vehicle....

I only have one tank and one guage. My 345 diesel tows very well. Usually tow a full sized car and hardly know its back there.

Actually we were not towing the car that is sitting behind the MH in the picture. It was following close behind in case we had a real breakdown! My dad always towed a Honda Civic with no problems though.
