I finally found the small binder clamp that I was looking for to make the quick release on the propane tank security strap. I never did like the web strap that was an after thought by FR to hold the propane tank in place and last year replaced it with a chain but could not find the binder that I wanted. Pull the safety pin, lift the handle and remove the chain. It might be stronger than what is needed but I feel better with it.
I also repurposed one side of an old bird cage this weekend into a shelf on the fender to hold the radio and cold adult beverage, Mother Goose was not to happy when see figured out where the wire came from. She had not used that cage for the last 16 years but one never knows when it might be needed. Made a couple of legs that fold away and used a little gas line tube to protect the fender and the POD side. Goose      ------------- Mother Goose's Caboose..2011 RP171..07 Grand Cherokee

Moe, so far we have not used the radio on the inside, but I figured that I could run the wire through one the windows. Goose ------------- Mother Goose's Caboose..2011 RP171..07 Grand Cherokee
