Our 18-57-6

Unreal.
You should do that kind of thing for a living...

Best solution I've seen.

Great work Burnsy, doesn't the 18-6 have the spare on rear bar, or is that for a second spare?

Burnsy Burnsy Burnsy that is brilliant !!! Can you just work a bike rack into it now buddy!

 

[Burnsy]

Thanks guys, @relgate, I'd rather be doing this sort of thing these days! @expanda, I'm more than happy to make more, the freight might be a killer though! Hmmm a bike rack incorporated, one for the drawing board @17triton

Hi Bill, not sure what your after. The spare and reg would need to be no higher than the gas bottles on the pop tops as the beds are lower.....no big problem though!

Great mod.. Like the idea of getting rid of copper gas pipes from bottles to regulator. What's the deal with that, are the flex hoses hard to find, what sizes are they, and why do they even use copper ?

Looks like you could drop the wheel down a fair bit between the aframe too get around the lower bed problem.

They use the copper a because a few years back there was.an.issue with the lining of the braided gas hoses failing and clogging regulaters, didn't only affect Jayco

Yep I heard that too, in fact a gas bloke told me he'd stick with copper because of that....the stainless does look pretty though!

Well done @Burnsy what a great Mod .

I have wanted to do something like that mainly to get rid of the low hanging spare on my pop top. Keep up the good work!

Yes - did not realise pop top beds are lower - never mind!!
Top job by the way!!

Same - gas man I know said stick with copper........

Trick is to check the braided hoses each year, and replace every 4-5 years.
I like the flexibility, the screw on POL fittings (and the look).
