Need to upgrade my bracket on my v- nose to hold a 40-60lb bottle.

What are my options?



This is what I have currently.

I just put a new one on my v-nose sled trailer this summer. After looking online and checking out some different options I decided to go custom. Let me dig up the pictures.

then go for the 60, I upgraded to 2 30's and now want to go to 2 40's
Yeah, I got two 60's but I only have room for one at a time.

Run the trailer heater 24/7.

What are you single for a bracket?

Just put a double bracket on the front tight to wall, bottles clear easy so not sure how much bigger 40's are. I carry a extra 30'and I never run out so with the 2 40's I should be good. I too run 24/7, batteried up and all good

Hmm, so how did you attach that to the trailer?

A buddy of mine bought a pre owned trailer this fall, the guy before stores the propane inside. Is this normal?, safe?

Common practice forsure.
I am sure someone can quote a regulation what it is illegal.

Problem is if someone over fills the bottle for you in cold weather. Then you put it in your trailer and the relief valve lifts you could have a rodeo.

Had that happen one time, luckily it didn't light off.

But then again my 5th wheel stores the cylinders in an enclosed compartment but it's well ventilated.

Those compartments are usually open on the bottom? Propane is heavier than air and sinks to the bottom. Propane is also one of the most volatile gasses. They don’t let propane vehicles in parkades because if it leaks the whole place can blow.

No my vent is on the top lol, guess they didn't get the memo.

I keep my spare bottle in my trailer.... Good or bad I am not keeping it under my tonnue cover cause you can't stand up a 60lber.

So I guess if I kept both in the trailer wouldn't be any worse than what I am already doing.

To bad the relief wasn't threaded, I could tube it outside......

(I keep my propane forklift in my shop.....)
