They are special, but not special to TrailManor. They are not available at Lowes, Home Depot and the like. Manchester Tank <http://www.mantank.com> makes and sells them. They require a special fill procedure (vertical) and have a special construction for use while laying horizontal. Normal tanks are dangerous if used while horizontal because they can deliver liquid propane into a system designed to operate only on gaseous propane.

Other trailer manufacturers use them also.
