Propane/Battery Frame Mount Location

That is helpful. I'm curious if this was done by Shasta during production, or by the dealers...

Here is what mine looks like. I had a single propane tank connected on the front set of metal bars. There was room for a battery box on the back set (there was a set of aluminium plates that were removed prior to the pictures being taken).



With the bars removed:



And this is where I'm imagining a set of bars existed before that were cut off.




This is on a 73 1400. I doubt that I'll run double tanks, although that is possible. And I'm probably going to add a small battery for the single 12v light inside by the closet.

It does have brakes that I'm planning to service/replace and run new cables to. I located my 7 pin wiring harness/block inside where the water tank was, so I'll run the cables there for that.

The breakaway switch was rusted beyond repair, so I'll buy a kit with battery for that.

A recharable LED light does make more sense there and I could pull out the rest of what's left of that 12v wiring in the closet.

I'm guessing that the majority of our camping will be done in a park that has power and water, but it would be nice to have the propane functional just incase. I need to have all that checked since I'm not sure it was ever used... Although the propane tank I pulled off the front was completely full of propane. When I disconnected the front line from the main connection at the front of the camper, it was filled with water.
