On my 1989 236 xplorer high top extended rear on a dodge chassis owned since new, had one side (passenger side) of the extended frame on which a welded section of 1/4 inch boiler plate material supports the major portion of the propane tank's weight. This area of the frame extention was rusted out so badly that the propane tank was hanging on by only what was left of the sheet metal flooring. The added on 1 1/2 x 3 inch framing material used is of a far lighter weight than that of the vans frame material. By the time I spotted the badly rusted and missing parts of that portion of the frames addition, the propane tank was very very unstable. I mention this only to caution that if your going to off road which will suject the unit to far greater road shock than paved roadways, I'd advise to double chect to see if the condition I described applys to your unit. Having the propne tank drop off and dragged or compltely lost would not make it a fun time.
