Dale, Do you think that 10 small holes drilled at the bottom of tongue box would do it, or wold t be better to cut out a section and replace with metal mesh? I am still thinking this through. I currently have the spare tire on a mount in the front, which is very convenient, but then I don't end up with a good place for the propane.
there is one other possiblity, but quite frankly, it would really alter the look of the trailer and It would interfere with where we store our outside shoes at night. I could maybe bolt a carrier to the top of the wheel well diamond plate on each side....but it seems a shame to do so. Sigh. I wish there was an easy clearcut best-way solution! I am just thinking out loud here. Option are:
1) Cut off the front tire mount, store tire in TV, attach mounting device to front of tongue, OR
2) cut off tire mount, store tire in TV, mount tongue box with holes or mesh adaptation to allow for venting on front tongue - and risk tongue plus propane being a little too heavy- but could possibly counter this with how we load the back of the sweet potato, OR
3) Be risky, especially in hot weather, and travel with propane strapped into crates in back of trailer, OR
4) Attach tanks to top of wheel well ( thiugh I don't know if that is permitted since they are not being stored "within the frame of the trailer) OR
5) don't take them with us.
Am I missing any oer options here???
