I am assuming this isn't very common but I was thinking about moving them from the hitch to mount other items.
The tanks are easily found at rv supply and are sold for use on vans. The distance from TT to the ground is higher than that of a van.
Is there a reason why tanks aren't hidden underneath or side-mounted?
My inlaws have a 2016 trailer that has 2 5 gal. Tanks side mounted in a side compartment and it is well ventilated. Do it right and it should not matter.
I would imagine that those are 20# horizontal 'portable' cylinders that are removed from trailer to be refilled.
OP........
Permanently mounting horizontal cylinders in a trailer may run into issues getting them refilled......not due to any regulations or such but due to getting truck/trailer into area of propane dispensing equipment.
Simple Logistics. So you may be limiting your refill options.
BUT if you are talking about portable horizontal cylinders......just pull them out and go get refilled just like truck campers do
