After losing my Aliner to a falling tree I was able to salvage the J rail and carrier frame for my RVQ, plus the hose and quick connect for the propane. The easiest place to set these up on the Rpod appeared to be off the wishbone of the tongue. In my scrap pile, I had a set of tracks and mounts for an overhead door so I used them to make a frame to https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ndaMkEYPEFYQjjuU86qOnv3xc7u8sDgc/view?usp=sharing - The gas supply to the trailer cabin runs from the regulator thru a hose to a ½” male flare bulkhead fitting behind the batteries. I ordered these two fittings to insert a 1/2x1/2x3/8 inch https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gvip4HiYSUh35CLjZlk5mlkXhA2wwgNY/view?usp=sharing -

Looks great! When you're towing the work table gets stowed obviously. Do you need to stow the RVQ as well or can it stay in place?

The RVQ and its carrier ride on the J rail by gravity. They would have to be secured with a strap. It only takes a minute to set everything up. I stow the carrier and RVQ in the rear cargo area (they fit thru the hatch). I tuck the gas umbilical behind the batteries.
