Spare propane tank mount

I use a milk crate for transporting my 30 lb tanks for refilling, but use a 6 lb and 11 lb tank for grilling, an outside portable oven and for an on demand water heater I use for outside camp kitchen hot water. The smaller tanks are carried in the bed of the truck in whatever "hole" they will fit and not roll around.

I used to carry a spare 20 lb tank for an older smaller trailer when boondocking but I usually set it in the row of 5 - 5 gallon gas cans for the generator all cable locked in the truck bed.:B

Hi All. We have done exactely this way of carring a Spare 20 Lb Propane Tank for so many years, we can even begin to count them.

Works even better if you Trucks bed is sprayed with a Bed-Liner. It never slides around at all. Plus you can always su=ecure it to something in one of the corners up behind the cab of the truck.

I even took some time to find Plastic Boxes, just like the ones for "Milk Jug,s" but for 30 Lb Propane Tanks. Being long "Time Boon-Dockers", Like 46+ years, we have never run out of anything.

Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jillk. & two Small "YORKIE KIDS", who love to go out on the road as much as we do.

Ours rides in a plastic milk crate in the truck bed. :)

I could carry it in the box of the pickup but they are a pain to secure.

Any suggestions?

I store mine in the bed of the pickup. Securing is no problem at all. I place mine inside a plastic milk crate -- it's always a perfect fit.

For safety sake, please don't carry it on the rear bumper.
