Alright I've been doing a lot of work to my camper lately lol. I start off by showing my original mods just to show where I'm at with this thing, then on to the newest ones. First I put a shelf in the back over the queen bed, very handy. This was the only mod that we had done besides a couple of easy ones like the cutting board over the stove top, coat rack over the bathroom door, and paper towel holder under the cabinet. Those didn't require any real work to add so I don't like to count them. http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/001_zps885c98e3.jpg.html">  Then we added a new shelf over the dinette bed, this will be needed as we just added a new family member!  http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/Camper%20007_zpsvrsfkmfx.jpg.html">  Then I put in the progressive industries surge protector. Look at all that wasted space (hint hint lol). http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/010_zps8tbn3uqq.jpg.html">  http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/012_zpso1ubyizd.jpg.html">  http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/Camper%20003_zpsdwwpx6l8.jpg.html">  http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/Camper%20004_zpss5pi7yie.jpg.html">  Then I made better use of the bench area and enclosed the wiring and created more storage. http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/Camper%20005_zpsoetzvdfa.jpg.html">  http://s269.photobucket.com/user/MDOGie2/media/Camper%20006_zpsvlcq6fbw.jpg.html">  ------------- 2014 R-POD 177 |

So I've gotten the dual propane tanks onto the camper and mounted now. Grinding off the single mount bracket across wasn't as terrible as I anticipated. I've yet to run a propane test to make sure everything works properly yet. Question for those who know, the line from the regulator setup on the tank to the camper is a bit tighter than I would like. There is no kink or anything but I would like it to be a little less stretched. I'm pretty sure to get a hose a tad longer would require getting it custom made. I don't see any issue with it right now and believe it to be fine, but for see it being stretched potentially a touch more than intended over time wearing the hose out, any thoughts on where I could go to get this accomplished? I might not even need to do this but would rather be safe than sorry. Thanks Mark!

Any decent RV parts shop will have a longer hose. Measure the stock one, and get one a bit longer.. We still have the stock one on ours, I notched the cover to give room for the hose to get up to the regulator.

They get replaced due to UV, and mostly rodent damage. Occasionally road debris will damage one.
