Hello all.

I am looking for a LP tank and skylight for my '84 Westy?

Anyone have these used?  I need the whole skylight assembly.  Mine is cracked and
water has gotten inside it and stinks something fierce!  Does anyone recommend
something other than the original?

My LP tank had a small hole in it.  So I need a replacement ideally with the fill
valve as well.
