Bigfoot propane compartment
My 2008 Bigfoot always has water on the propane storage compartment floor. The previous owner, I assume, installed a nice thick rubber waffle mat for the tanks to sit on. I'm not sure if that was done...

Good job TxGearhead! Another fix of a poorly designed item. I don't know whether Bigfoot cuts out the bottom lip of their propane compartment to make it easier to get the tanks in and out or if they think water will get in through the louvers and so needs a way to run out. I'd have to believe the former as, since adding the lip back, I have yet to see any water standing in the compartment.
All Bigfoots have this lip cut out intentionally so that no propane can gather in bottom of the compartment. Propane is heavier than air.
I figure the space taken by that thick rubber mat, almost 3/4", won't leave much air space for propane behind the new lip.
Propane is quite dangerous and will settle as low as possible. It does have a recognizable stank though, from my 35 years in a refinery.
