Those of you who use propane in your rigs, what type of carrier did you go with?
We left a nice 4 foot space under the flatbed where I was going to build a carrier for up to four 20 pound tanks (the normal kind you can exchange if needed). I didn't buy an aluminum box at the time from ProTech because a 20 pound tank wouldn't quite fit in it height-wise. I am now rethinking that idea and considering buying a matching under truck box similar to my other boxes, modifying it for venting and removing some of the box material to allow the bottom ring of the tanks to sit in a hole in the bottom of the box, maybe on a bracket support. This is probably easier than trying to come up with my own carrier constructed out of steel and hardware cloth.
Any better ideas or does this sound reasonable?
Here is the ideal location under our truck, near our safety solenoid controlled input to the main camper above.
