   When we looked at the first vibe we saw, first thing I noticed was the way the battery and gas were done,Didn't like it at all. I think storing in the rear compartment/storage area is doable, here is how I would do it...
Build a smaller compartment inside that compartment, and make sure it's pretty well sealed, then add a vent to the outside. Done. Our airstream batteries are inside the trailer, and they are in a plastic box, that is vented out of the trailer body.

	It says not to store cylinder in excessive heat, I wander how hot it gets under those black covers on the newer models.

	I took the cover off mine the minute I got home...to me they are like a toupee- everyone knows what you are trying to hide so what is the point

	Yeah, I've wondered about all the black trim and accessories on the newer pods. The whole reason campers are generally white (or light color) is to reflect heat. Maybe not as important in the age of A/C, but still a benefit it you are boondocking.
