I hate that strap. I actually still have not been able to get it off and I know my tank is near empty Censored
As I don't want to go to dual tanks, what have others done to better secure the tank the unit comes with while allowing for ease of access to change?

Tusten Traveler,
 
What is it about the strap on your tank that makes it difficult to remove? Mine has a buckle (as is pictured in an earlier post in this thread) that can be undone and redone without a problem. Did your dealer install a different type of strap (from the one pictured)?

It was just on so tight that there was not enough "give" to get enough loose to disengage the strap from the buckle. It was exactly as pictured here but when we tried to lift up on the buckle, the "lip" broke off and all that is left is the teeth area. After bandaids and triple antibiotic to fingers, we still don't have it up and will need a needle nose pliers to get it off.

I thought the part in the middle was a "button" (push down) and not a "lever" (pull up)?

That might explain the breakage, but part of the problem, I believe, was that it got wet and shrank. Combination of human error and cheap part.
