Our camper trailer was built to suit the needs of it's previous owner and while our requirements are similar, we don't use gas as a fuel source.We did consider leaving the gas bottle holders in place but none of our re-purposing ideas worked, so Nick removed the rings (and the upright spare tyre mount) today.
After taking off the surplus mounts, Nick measured the space between the jerry can holders. We looked online at ready-made metal tool boxes and heavy-duty cargo crates. None fit the space though and it seemed a bit silly to pay $100.00 or more for something that wasn't right.
While I was pondering other options, Nick went back downstairs and retrieved the smaller wooden box which he had made in preparation for our 2010 Yowah trip.
It was slightly too long for the gap but fit well otherwise. Nick cut one end off and then re-fixed the panel, shortening the length. The box now rests snugly in the available area.
There's a bit more work to be done but our two Cobb Cookers fit into the box nicely - hooray!
