That tank is 6" diameter by 22" long and about 60% the capacity of the westy tank.  It seems like a good size if you can either convert it to horizontal use. Or just set it upright when you use it.  It would fit in a couple good spots inside a westy.

I have to admit those 1lb refillables are pretty cool.  This is what I found for info.  The first run was 5000 units, so maybe they sold out.

And here is a horizontal 10lber 10.3" high but I don't think it is any better than the verticle 1 gal one I have.

That tank can only be vertical. I need small and short vertical (<10"),
or short and small horizontal. I won't put propane indoors for constant
camping use.
