no more horizontal propane tank for me
I wanted a standard grill propane tank when I bought my camper new, but it wasn't available. So when the original needed to be re-certified, I decided to change it. Larger pictures on web site: link ...

Pretty sweet mod.
Make sure the bottom of the new box is sealed water tight because the tank will have condensation running down it if used in humid areas. Plus a blowing rain will sometimes get in through the door vents.
Only thing I see wrong with it is I would have to add at least one small vent at the bottom of the compartment to ensure any leaked propane can drift out. The way it is now, there is the potential for a pool of gas in the bottom of box which could be a hazard. Granted it's a slim hazard, but still there and why manufacturers don't do this at the factory.
