I purchased a 15 gallon grey water tote so I can dump my tank without moving the trailer when I'm at a campground. With the wheels removed (they pop out easily) I can transport it out of the way behind the spare.
Received locks from http://www.rvlocksandmore.com/ that match my door lock. Outdoor shower, storage compartment, tongue box and door all use the same key now. I also added a second lock to outside storage instead of the thumb lock. It's now a little more
Secure.

I decided to go with a dual tank setup. I probably should have just done this from the get go, it bolted right up and was much easier than relocating / welding the single tank mount.
I welded the threaded rod to the baseplate and drilled the t handle so that the tanks could be locked .

Extra long hitch, now my tacomas tailgate won't hit the tongue jack.

Thanks!
Just finished these today.
Key/leash hooks.
I made some mud flaps from some extra rubber I had laying around.

Harbor freight tongue/battery box with larger battery, solar controller and box vent.
(***I originally kept the single propane tank setup when installing this box. to make the lock accessible I had to relocate the tank forward as close to the tongue jack as possible which required some minor fabrication. I also mounted the regulator to the front of the box. ***)
I mounted the sewer hose storage to the rear of the box.
The solar controller is fed by a port on the side of the box. I also ran the Zamp port to the controller. I can move my panel around and hook it to either the rear or front of the camper.
