If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Thanks. Took a few tries to get it the right size. The more pics, all the better, let's see yours! I always grab one of our wireless thermometers and throw the wireless part inside the fridge. Going down the road and in camp it makes it easy to keep an eye on the temp. |

techntrek, good picture, I put the fuel gauge on my lp tank today and added a wireless inside outside thermometer. I would post a picture of our white Trailblazer with our RP-172, but it looks a lot like yours

The jeep is rated at 500 lbs tongue weight and 5000 lbs towing capacity with the WDH so I am not worried about overloading the tongue but I do have to be careful because the pass through storage is on the front on a 173 so I have to make sure to balance the load. I find a little extra tongue weight helps with towing.

Very nice. With your TV you probably don't have to worry about overloading on the tongue weight. That kind of outside storage would be really useful at times.

I like it !!
I took a much more basic approach and attached 2 of the Group 27 plastic battery boxes to the arms of the trailer, just behind the propane tank. I store some bungees and the wooden blocks for the hitch pole and 4 stabilizing jacks. Your system has a LOT more utility. Plus, I may have to remove mine to attach the bars for the WDH/Stabilizer we are about to get :-( MJ |

A nice little mod, gives you some extra real estate for a small tool box, an extra battery, etc. Nice job!

I bought the rack it is designed to go in a receiver hitch. I Modified it put putting steel C channel on top of the A frame of the tongue and bolting that to the rack. I then used U Bolts to attach the whole thing to the A frame. I then attached the propane rack and the battery box to the cargo rack. My generator fits between the Propane and the battery. Here is another picture that shows the steel rails I added.
