Haha no ****.

Anyone have any ideas on where to get a reasonably priced one?

Got this bent up but would love to put a rigid clamp on it.

Warning!!!
there are several warnings out about propane tanks

First and most important as all recreational propane is used in the “GAS” state
and as stated never leave, transport or store a propane tank on its side or upside down
the vent and discharge tube are at the top to vent and provide only GAS.
If it vents propane gas it is say 1:1.
If it vents liquid it expands 270:1. Now your in deep sh!t.

Propane expands. Propane liquid will expand 270 times as it changes from a liquid state to vapor state. For example, 1 gallon of liquid stored under pressure in a container will expand to approximately 270 gallons of vapor if released to the atmosphere.

second warning is all propane tanks must vent to the outside atmosphere
all RV tanks are mounted outside on the hitch or frame
if mounted in a cabinet they vent though the grill in the door or grill in the floor of the cabinet but never venting inside.

I think the best trailer propane is the belly tanks
A bit pricy
Out of the way
do not load down your hitch weight
ie a standard hitch with a 2” ball is good for 500 lbs
an equalizer hitch with bars attached is good for 1000lbs
so be careful to not over load the hitch and the truck hitch

So why is it so hard to find mounting brackets if they don't want these tank floating around all Wille nilly?

Reason I decided to buy a Mirage trailer, replacement parts are easily accessible and reasonable priced. Trailer came with (2) 2lbs bottles which I swapped to 30lbs. Just had to buy a 1/2 threaded stock for $5 to gap the extra height.

Yeah you can put that on any trailer, but not really heavy enough for 40lb or bigger bottles.

Never seen anyone ever mount anything larger then 30lb bottles vertical. Anything larger usually is belly mounted. Besides I've yet to drain one 30lbs bottle in a weekend running a 45,000 btu furnace running all night.

My homemade setup. It works and is sealed from inside. There was a belly tank but it was rotten rusted and leaking . Cut it off and set this up.
