> What are the actual tank measurements?

The tank itself is 42" long.  It would actually be 43" including the
mounting brackets. It has an 8" outside diameter. The protective guard for
the valve adds another inch, and then you'd have to allow about 1/2 inch to
an inch for mounting, so around 9-1/2 to 10 inches in total.  When I said
the tank hung down about 2-1/2 inches lower than the stock one, this was at
its lowest point (at the bottom of the guard) versus the lowest point on the
stock one (also the bottom of the guard).

> Does this come complete with regulator?

No regulator. It would set you back another $30 or less. You would also need
a few heavy duty nuts/bolts to bolt it to the floor (and a piece of steel if
you wanted to "sandwich' the floor as I described).   And of course you'd
need some LP gas hoses to plumb it (or an Extend-A-Stay kit for $39).


I am getting some interest in these, but I'm not yet sure if there's enough
to warrant bringing them in.  If you definitely want one, please email me.
If there's enough demand to do it at all, I'll give you a lower price of
$149 in exchange for your commitment to purchase one.
