We are new owners of a 1997 Dodge Roadtrek 190V
We are looking for a sewer hose and propane tank. Our tank was a tad rusty and burst during a fill.
Might anyone have these items for sale?

Sewer hose is generic, buy it anywhere. Install is a pain.

There is another current thread here about a 1990’s Roadtrek propane tank. You could send him a private message and see if he is having any success.

Did you confirm where the LP leak was coming from? It's more likely that it was a hose that went bad and not the tank itself. The tanks are pretty thick and surface rust is very common. It also could have been coming from the over-fill valve which needs to be opened during a fill and that would be normal.

Several threads on the tank. Horizontal RV tanks are good forever. Your leak is NOT the tank, it's something attached to the tank.

Thanks to everyone that replied about my propane tank. I got the van back from the RV shop that was claiming it ruptured. Over the next few weeks I’ll take a look at it myself and let everyone know what I find. It’s hot in AZ and crawling under the van will not be fun.

the more you can manage to do yourself, the more independent you will be, with a good square tip screwdriver you can get a good view of what is behind the curtain! Water lines are Zurn pex!
If you have a good mechanic that's the best way to service old Dodges, unless you have these skills!
Good luck!

Concerning my propane tank, I took the van to a local propane shop and watched them connect and attempt to fill my tank. Within seconds liquid propane spewed from the backside of the tank. They stopped immediately. I got underneath and could not find a hole or damage, just lots of rust. I did see a black plug that I was told is a pressure valve. Any thoughts on this? The connections all seem intact. I may just connect to the system using a smaller RV type tank.

I think that you should take out the tank, remove all that rust and repaint it, check the fittings including the pressure relief valve and replace any that are bad. I would't be surprised if the tank was still fine for use.

It is not difficult to plumb into the existing system with a quick disconnect hose to add a portable propane tank and bypass the installed tank if you would prefer that.
