I wonder what the UV would do to them here in the SW desert. Nothing but stone, concrete, and steel will last longer than three years here.

  Subject: Translucent propane cylinders on Ebay $29

  Not for mounting under your Westy, but if you carry a separate BBQ
  size propane tank these are cool, they are made of a translucent
  material so you can actually see the level of LPG in the cylinder.
  They are also 1/2 the weight of steel tanks.  Invented in Norway,
  they meet US and CDN safety standards.

  $29 + expensive shipping....mine was $52 total to California.
