Subject:Replacement propane tank

What exactly is the capacity on the propane tank on our westfalis?  If
it is nothing spectacular (10 lbs +), wouldn't it make sense to get an
adapter to run a 20lb bottle or even just the small 1lb bottles?  With the
cost of a replacement tank, the safety issue of driving around with
pressurized propane, wouldn't make sense to swap over to a more common and
removable container?
    With my camper being a daily driver (if I can get it rolling again) it
worries me a bit having the propane onboard at all times.  I've got a bit of
worry about getting T-boned with the kiddos in the car and suffering the GMC
side impact syndrome.
