    I dont thing UV is a problem, ours has been in the sun for 4 years, still looks perfect. Im glad you used this for years before you did a video about how great it is. Larry
  • @ggebhard1
    Great idea! I love people who think out of the box! Thank you!
  • @jimfraser8691
    this is fantastic one of the best DIY projects for RVer's I have ever seen! well done!!
  • @badonkadonk66
    Brilliant idea for the ammo cans on the bumper! I am heading to HF now to get this done. Thank you.
  • I agree with you about the UV rays, so I use a Christmas Tree storage bag and some bungee cords to protect it. It looks like a tightly wrapped bundle on my back bumper.
  • @DennisWintjes2
    Thanks for sharing! Subscribed! Very Clever. I carry mine in the bed of the truck but if I was full-time, this is prime space.
  • @stevebrown3955
    Great video!! I carry a portable tank on a hitch style carrier attached to the rear bumper of the camper. Your solution is awesome!!
  • @RobertSmith-tq6mf
    I sent an email to BAL about 12 years ago to do that very same thing! Great job !
  • @jimhensley8529
    Great idea! One other thing to consider is the amount of road grime and silt/sand that can get into the wheel bushings on the tank when traveling underneath the trailer. Perhaps a wrap or covers for the wheels to protect them?
  • This is genius! Thank you for sharing! I will need to see how it fits with my enclosed underbelly.
  • @Fltcrw1969
    Great idea. Don't have a ladder on my wolf pup & kinda needed a storage idea for the portable blk tank. I'll look into this idea now!
  • You bring up a great talking point about the amount of gallons a tote holds. We elected to go with the 21 gallon tote because we often boondock in remote areas. As needed we can fill the tote, then Angie and I can lift it into the bed of our truck and take it to a dump station that is often miles away from where we are. When we are in a campground where we don't have sewer but there is a dump on site, I just hook onto it with my ebike, instead of having to fire up my truck. Just a couple things to consider. I love this idea Joshua excellent video. I have been wanting to so something similar for some time. Sean
  • This is awesome! I will have to make this. I do like your ammo box storage on the bumper. I u-bolted a double battery box on mine, and love the easy access to my black tank stuff.
  • @acdii
    This is actually a very practical idea. There is one small flaw I spotted though, the u-bolts coming up fro underneath, it they contact the tank they can eventually drill a hole in the plastic and cause leaks. As long as the tank isn't resting on any of them, perfect design. Mine hangs off the ladder, and being a 43' long 5th wheel, there is quite a bit of momentum back there and I am afraid the ladder may work loose, it's not really meant to carry anything on it and this idea may just do the trick for me.
  • @oldschool6798
    Great idea for your particular rig. Now we no long have to stare at your sewer can strapped to your ladder while we drive down the road behind you. Lol We also use the plastic ammo cans……for carrying backup plumbing and electrical parts as well as miscellaneous screws, etc. They seal, are light weight and overall convenient.
  • @evanmartin7809
    make sure to put a little anti-seize on the thumb screw. I had one of those spare tire carriers and when I needed it, the thumb screw was stuck tight. Climbed under the RV to remove the tire, then had to drill out the screw when I got to my campsite.
  • @markstehle151
    Hmm, I love the idea but I'd want to build a custom mount to tuck the tank as high as possible, also that tire mount is pricey for what it is. I didn't know these existed, thank you for the video and now I have some ideas.
