I contacted HomeDepot and they tell me that there is no inventory (in their warehouses) anywhere in the US.

The good news is, they gave me the ph# for the manufacturer and they are in West Los Angeles.

Stand-by and I will see what I can find out. I'll even see if I can get a bulk purchase if/when they get them in. I'm thinking that there are a lot of TrailManors out there with expired tanks.

If we can't get new ones, I'm going to get a propane transfer kit so that I can fill them from our 500G bulk tank at home.

Thank you, it appears the Ebay seller is Flame King which happens to be the manufacture: https://flameking.com/about-us/ so it is good to know these are still being made.

Although I don't use the horizontal tanks, I see they sell tanks with quantity gages. No more guessing, so I bought one. I hate guessing. Thanks Wavery

LOL... My "gauges" are a joke, I had one that said "E", and when I removed it from the TM it felt like there was some in there.... It was 3/4 full!

So UI dont trust the gauges at all.

The Flame King model specs show "DOT APPROVED and pre-purged for immediate fill." & "Features pre-purged and ready to fill tank". Are those who are buying these replacement tanks taking Flame King at their word, or seeking out someone who can also purge for the first fill?

I doubt UPS or FEDEX would NOT allow a used non-purged tank to be shipped. They have to be safe or they can't ship. So, yes I do trust the tank will be empty and ready for servicing.
I've had to ship hazardous items when I worked, and if you don't have all the required paperwork, reputable shippers will not accept the item.
