Is there a reson you can't use the rv ones? Are you using the same
pressure? I've not seen any with remote indicators though.


there is ONE BIG reason you can't RV tanks on a generator of any size.
(10Kw) they are Vapor withdraw type tanks and they don't have enough
surface area to allow the propane liquid to boil off into gas, without
freezing up the tank.... duh... anyone who has ever tried it knows
this...
