Does anyone have any pics of a home 20# lp tank holder???

[ratherbefishin]

Lookin to add the last thing to my wheel house, i want to secure the 20# SINGLE tank on the front of my wheel house...just lookin for ideas how i would go about building one. THANKS !

I would think you could go to an RV dealer and pick one up thats made for a pop-up camper fairly cheap

Have you ever used a milk crate to transport a 20lb. L.P.tank? Very tight fit with a flat secure surface. If you're able to bolt a milk crate to the front of your trailer and then secure the tank with a strap you would be set.

Not sure if it will do your new wheel house justice as far as appearance goes but it would work as a good way to secure a single 20lb. tank.

I don't have a picture right now (photo bucket is blocked at work)but I did pick one up for 20 bucks at a local RV dealer.

Thanks for the ideas, keep them comin!

The milk crate has worked for me for the last 10 years. Make sure to get one that looks heavy duty.

i made our holders with some 1-1/2"x1/8" flat bar. rolled and welded a ring to fit inside the base ring on the tank and another split ring to fit around the tank half way or so up. then welded the bottom one to the frame of the house and the top one onto a peice of rectangular tube, but you could use whatever you have laying around. to clamp the tank in and keep it from moving around the top split ring has tabs bent out with holes for a 3/8" bolt to tighten the ring down on the tank, you could use a wing nut but im hoping that theives are lazy and wont have two 9/16" wrenches with them.

pretty easy to do if you have acces to a welder and a roller

these are made for two 30lb tanks but you can just change a few dimentions to work with a 20lb.

Eelpout that looks great! Good idea and nice work.

I like that alot but i dont have a roller. I have a welder. I might try to build a box out of angle for the base of the tank to sit in, then run threaded rod up on each side then a piece of angle across the top with nuts to hold it down?

Here is a picture of the one on the outside of my Hut.

easy sipmle design, and only 20 bucks.

Eelpout08,

Then weld a single chain link to the angle iron that goes tank to tank, and a chain link welded to the wing nut. Then a master lock through the two, to keep an honest man honest.

My son and I woke to a really cold house a year or two ago because someone had stolen both of my propane tanks during the night while we were sleeping. This was the same day someone decided that drilling a hole 1' out and dead center of the door to our shack was a great spot for their tip-up, they drilled, set their tip-up and walked away to their truck about 400' away. My son gets up and doesn't say a word, peeks outside, walks outside and folds up their tip-up and sends it down the hole, waves at the guy and walks back in, sits down and starts fishing again and doesn't say a word. so I figured good enough, I don't think I need to say anything to the guy, he just got punked by an 11 year old. Sorry for the rambling story just reminiscing a little since I thought about it. LOL

I would think that would work just fine also, you could also find something to form the straps around or put it in a vice or brake and put a lot of slight bends in it but that gets to be pain in the arse

The one that comes on the back of a SnoBear also works pretty well, if you happen to have a dealer in your area you could stop by and take a look at that one.
