I am adding a propane tank to the tongue of my fleetwood santa fe trailer.  Does anyone know where to get the little J bolts that hold the tanks down?

Dealer item, My DW works for a bolt mfg. so she had 2 made out of SS rod for me.But I did purchase the new cover from the FW dealer so they would match.

Any other suggestions than from the dealer?  We are looking to do this also and the local Camping World doesn't carry them.  I am not impressed with our local CW.

Made mine from threaded rod. Have a local welder bend them for you with his torch. Did mine for under 20 dollars. Just bring one of the originals with you so he can match it with the threaded rod.

I did not like those "J" hooks at all. I went to a basket bottle holder like on a Viking pup, much much better. $15 at the dealer. You have to go to one knee  with those j hooks and just a general pain to take off. Hard to see in pic but the bottle basket is much better with a bolt and wing nut up top and easy to turn.

I have discovered in my short time owning a pup that CW doesn't really cater to the pup owners. I did talk to someone at my local CW and they said that they were planning on stocking more items aimed at the pup owner. I haven't been there in a while so I don't know if they have started yet.
