Propane tank lock

[Tail_gunner]

I am likely not the first person to think of this, but I came up with a cheap way of securing my propane tanks.
I drilled a hole through one side of the wing nut and another through the hold down bar.
I then put a long shackle padlock though the holes which prevents the wing nut from being loosened.

Did the same a long time ago. People see it now and cannot believe that is was so simple to do.

That's a pretty good idea. I ended up running a cable through the tank handles and around the tray and locking it with a master lock, but I'll probably do this on the next camper.

I did the same thing but added a chain as a little extra.

Nice work - you have inspired me

Nice!!! Thats a good idea.
Thanks for sharing.

Great ideas, thanks for sharing. Guess I can loose the chain and use it for something else.

Nicely done.

I have been camping off and off for about 40 years and have never had a bottle removed from my rig. Now with the 5th wheel, they are inside storage anyway. But that is sure an easy and secure fix if that is something you are worried about.
