Typo. I fixed my original post. I meant to type lbs, not gallons when I was typing.
Thanks for posting what the gallon capacity is, which is something I was curious about.

HUGE? I thought I was going to read about a couple permanent tanks like on a MH. 40 is just top of the normal range. Although as said 40 is getting a bit heavy to manhandle as the years pass. I would rather have 3+ 30# cylinders for extended use.

Oh, I can't ley this slip past me;
"A 40 pound tank weighs 32 pounds empty" - This sounds like a government measurement! Funny.

I'm surprised that those tanks weigh over 70 pounds -- I thought propane weighs about four pounds per gallon, which would be about 40 pounds plus the weight of the tank itself?
My guess is that I am wrong about this.
In any event, lifting 70 pounds onto the front of a trailer is not easy, especially for those of us with aging backs. I could do it, but I would first have to get a pre-authorization for a visit to a chiropractor. 😉

ORV has some innovative features across the board, been impressed with they're stuff.
Not sure of the necessity for 40 gallon tanks though as Propane consumption is so minimal for the most.

Last week I was wandering around the local Northwood / Outdoors RV dealer. A model caught my eye because it had graphics I hadn't see on other ORV models. I went over and took a look at it.
It's the Backcountry model 20BD, which a new model for the mid 2020 model year. It used to be called the 20SK.
The new mid year changes across the Backcountry series include HUGE 40 gallon propane tanks, solid surface counter tops, flush mount range, a generate delete option, which still makes them "generator ready".
8" I-beam frame, cap on the front instead of Filon and Diamond plate.
16" Goodyear Endurance tires, plus a few other things I probably don't remember.
Here's a short video tour I did.
Overall, I'm impressed with the changes.
