Double Propane Holder Doesn't Fit?

Just waiting for it to dry!

I thought the marine plywood was a good fix, you could cut the vertical piece off the rear angle also

Every single tank TT I've seen has the same problem, the brackets are too close together to get the double tank tray to fit between them.

Mine, the original angle iron tank rails were about 1/4" too close to allowing the double tray to fit. Tank fits in both fine.

See my previous post on my solution.

It would help if you'd list the make, model, year of trailer you have - it just may be that the front set of rails are intended for the battery and the rear set for the tanks.

All small trailers that have a single tank, the tank is next to the jack and the battery(ies) are behind it, just like most other travel trailers.

I used some spacers to raise mine up above the angle iron rails.

How are people mounting your double propane brackets? Mine doesn't fit and would rather not try to cut and remove the existing braces.




Only other thing I can think of is getting some sort of plate to place on top of the to braces?

somebody goofed up!!

Take your snap blocks off i bet it will fit then

If by "snap blocks" you mean the weight distribution frame brackets then how is removing them going to help? :h Obviously he needs those brackets in order to mount his WD spring bars and 2) his problem has nothing to do with the brackets but the fact the propane tank tray he purchased is too wide to fit between the brackets that are welded to the trailer's A-frame.

Take your snap blocks off i bet it will fit then

To the OP ...

In another thread of yours you were asking about adding a second battery to your new trailer, and that being the case you'd be well advised to integrate what you're doing with these tanks with what you intend to do with your battery setup. The rear set of rails would easily hold a pair of whatever choice of battery you make - G24s, G27s, even G31s, or as some suggested a pair of 6 volt GC-2s. However, if you tried to mount a pair of batts on that front set of rails you'd be sure to overhang the A-frame quite a bit, especially if your choice was G31s. You could add a platform to your A-frame as I've done to all the trailers I've owned, turn the pair of batts north-south rather than east-west, and perhaps have sufficient room for two. Start with using your tape measure to tell you what will and won't work. ;)

I think for simplicity, I'm just going to get another identical battery as the one that came with the trailer. Won't really be doing much boondocking. Just thinking of in emergencies where we need a few hours of low usage power. At least for now. So I'd mount the 2nd battery at the back to keep the tongue weight a tad lower.
