How to Mount a Propane Tank on an RV Hitch
Trailer hitches come with a built-in location for LP propane tanks mounted on the hitch. The location of the tanks is found on the front of the trailer. The built-in stand can either hold one 7 1/2-gallon LP tank and others are wide enough to hold a pair of 5-gallon LP tanks. Mounting the tanks securily to the provided propane tank rack(s) requires securing the metal ring holder with either a nut and bolt or a screw and wing nut. Some models of LP tank holders have a self-locking latch identical to those found on most tool boxes. However, the vast majority are the nut and bolt type.
