I added a ratchet strap to hold the propane tanks tight to the mounts.
Looks like this will work.

Too expensive to lose propane tanks on every trip.

This one goes out in the shower tent, it’s just a bit too big for night time use.

This is what my wife uses for night time relief. She leaves it folded up and leans it against her storage cabinet with a bag set and ready to go. When she needs it, she just has to open up the stool, sit and go, then fold it up again and leans it back against the cabinet.

Just read this whole thread we are in the early stages of choosing a trailer need to have access to porta potty when bed is made. Does anyone have the measurements of how much space is available? We are planning a Alaska trip Any concerns about the soft top in bear country? Would love to see one if anyone is traveling east this summer we are in Vt. The other thing I noticed in all this reading is while the trailer seems well designed there sure seem to be alot of quality issues that people are fixing I wouldn't expect this on such an expensive unit

I think any trailer comes with a certain amount of small issues. Not to be confused with modifications. Mark at Mission Overland is very responsive and stands by his product.
I agree 100% with mep1811.

We have a trailer from the most recent build and love it. The quality far exceeds anything we have seen to date. We are located in Pennsylvania. If you feel the need for a drive, you can check ours out. Another owner in Ohio bmade the offer to us when we were looking and it secured our decision so keep that in mind.

Not with my wife
I have a lugable loo in a shower tent on the side of our trailer. We did put it inside one night when we were travelling and slept at a cracker barrel overnight. Space is tight but doable since didn't want to put outside in parking lot. We are in PA if you are close and wanted to see one.

if you haven't already, ie since taking your pictures, you need to put some rubber or plastic between your straps and the metal. Even on highways it won't be long before the metal saws through the straps.

True. I have some hose I can cut .

Now after I cut off the "wings" and the can sits on the plate and with the strap the can is very secure.

Glad you pointed that out. I added some Voikl Ski straps which I think might hold better on rough terrain without loosening off. Ordered some 32" versions so I don't have to chain them.

That should work. Cutting of those toothed "wings the tank sits on will give the tank a better platform to sit on. I posted pictures a couple of posts ago.

thanks for the pics and suggestions guys/gals. I'm probably going to try Rokstraps. They are used for all kinds of things in the ADV moto world. I used them to hold my Dometic 65 L frig/freezer in Beastie. They come in various lengths and should provide enough tension to do the job. I'll get some pics once I have Beastie home Saturday night.
