I've ordered them for ice fishing before from Cabela's.  Look on their website.  They have 11 pounders, too.

I also have the same heater.  I have used it some in the vanagon.  I
crack the windows open and take along a CO detector, just to be safe.

Where did you get the 2.5G tank?  I have been looking for one myself,
for the same purpose.
