Very funny, Terry. I guess you just have to stir things up no matter
what. The Westy tank is in no way an off-the-shelf RV product. It is
sized and built to fit VW Vanagons exactly. RV places won't be able to
supply one just upon the asking. If you have the Manchester Tank part
number you can get one through their normal channels but it won't be
fast or nearly as cheap as you say. The Bus Depot is the way to get one
for most people. Go-Westy sells it too, for a little more but including
a new regulator which is a good idea to replace at the same time.
