Propane tanks installed using Torrid bottle holders.

I installed propane holders or propane lockers as often it's referred as. We looked at dozens of websites and how-to's with no real solution. On Harbinger we use two 6 lbs aluminum tanks and trying to find a locker to buy off the shelf was impossible, so we made a hybrid system using Torrid bottle holders. The kit is very nice overall being stainless steel and adjustable plus it's American made and built solid. The down side to this entire kit is the wimpy rubber band hold strap. I was so upset about this feature that I wanted to take the kits back, but we had no other option.  The kit installs quickly needing only a screwdriver and a crescent wrench. It mounts to a railing and is adjustable.

Wimpy rubber band holder
Installed in under an hour.

Next ill build a small box to house the regulator, solenoid and gauges but it will have to wait. We want to install a boom gallows
