Morning Guys:
I examined the 2 cut-outs at bottom frame of propane hatch (with a magnifying glass), and they appear to be designed into the frame by the access hatch manufacturer. One edit: this, I believe, is where the heavy propane would seep out if leak should occur...
If they were cut by the camper manufacturer, all I could say is: they must have used a laser cutting device, because I can't discern any striations / saw marks whatsoever (and the cut is absolutely true and appears to be molded)...
I really like that eyebrow channel! This is what i may try. I will mount with enough clearance to allow hatch to open sufficiently to extract propane tank, but low enough to shed water cascading down side of camper. I may install a pan drain into the steel containment box, however, this could be problematic because the containment metal floor is severely deformed where the horizontal tank feet rest on it!
The deformity is vertically located INSIDE our cupboard where the water in the compartment pools, where drilling a drain would be impossible. Have to think this drain approach out some more....
Canting camper to propane hatch side:
I've already tried this (on our return, 5 days ago). No good. Containment floor filled with water.
Cheers,
