I relocated one side of the table stow strap so it could also be used to hold the cushions on the second bed from sliding off.

Harbor freight tongue/battery box with larger battery, solar controller and box vent.
(***I originally kept the single propane tank setup when installing this box. to make the lock accessible I had to relocate the tank forward as close to the tongue jack as possible which required some minor fabrication. I also mounted the regulator to the front of the box. ***) http://s170.photobucket.com/user/rynosurf/media/forum/93DAA211-CAC2-43DD-A389-9EF3376E908B_zpsdrrp8i4y.jpg.html"> 
I mounted the sewer hose storage to the rear of the box. http://s170.photobucket.com/user/rynosurf/media/forum/305CEA25-5BD1-4551-A2CF-9121524B676A_zps36edb6mt.jpg.html"> 
The solar controller is fed by a port on the side of the box. I also ran the Zamp port to the controller. I can move my panel around and hook it to either the rear or front of the camper. http://s170.photobucket.com/user/rynosurf/media/forum/4E8BA04D-DD77-4684-8070-AFD58D5A88E4_zpse1ibezyv.jpg.html">

I decided to go with a dual tank setup. I probably should have just done this from the get go, it bolted right up and was much easier than relocating / welding the single tank mount.

I welded the threaded rod to the baseplate and drilled the t handle so that the tanks could be locked . http://s170.photobucket.com/user/rynosurf/media/forum/E9674037-9650-41F2-82D5-8DB30E315D02_zpspxdct1qv.jpg.html">  ------------- 2016 179 Hood River Edition 2006 4x4 Tacoma DC short bed |

I purchased a 15 gallon grey water tote so I can dump my tank without moving the trailer when I'm at a campground. With the wheels removed (they pop out easily) I can transport it out of the way behind the spare.

Received locks from http://www.rvlocksandmore.com/ that match my door lock. Outdoor shower, storage compartment, tongue box and door all use the same key now. I also added a second lock to outside storage instead of the thumb lock. It's now a little more Secure. http://s170.photobucket.com/user/rynosurf/media/forum/7EC48988-0412-42EA-91DB-412572840F96_zpsftl7vgbf.jpg.html">  ------------- 2016 179 Hood River Edition 2006 4x4 Tacoma DC short bed |

When I put stuff in a he outdoor storage area it would push in the flimsy veneer under the bed. I decided to reinforce it with thin plywood. I also found a void to the left of the storage area where the plumbing and electrical is located, I was able to take advantage of the space and make a little more room in the storage area.
