    Took a load to the dump!

    Mark is that just a bungee holding the propane tank in? Does it seem secure enough?

    Java:

    The cage holds the tank from the top and bottom.
    The sides cradle the sides.
    The bungie wraps around and hooks to the pins with light pressure.
    It cant rise up or drop down.
    The bungie holds the tank tight against the back.

    Look close you can see the 1/4" bolt that passes through the trailer and bolts the
    frame to the tub, It is long enough to pass through the propane tank handle then I use a rubber washer and NYLOCK wing nut to tighten it all
    down.

    No movement and if the bungie would snap or get cut The tank is locked to the cage.

    Ah didn't catch that top nut going thru the tank handle. I may just copy that for a 20# tank.

    I put the 3rd (and final) coat of Epoxy on the underside of the floor. Next step is to paint on the bed-liner and then screw it to the frame.

    The 5 I have does run for a good time, I am adding a hot water system and will add a 20# tank.
    I have more faith in swapping the tank at walley world or the local gas station then finding a refill location.
