Based on another thread idea, I took out the side panels in my new 5.0 to get better access to the propane tanks. Worked great. The propane storage is a very tight space and it's a bear to get channel locks on the tank valve to snug it tighter than I can get by hand. Can't rotate the tanks due to the short connecting hose.
Didn't like the idea of removing the panels that look like they also block any possible gases to the inside cavity.
I know propane is heavier than air and not likely to float up but still.
How about this solution? Put the panels back and get slightly longer propane hoses from the diverter to the tank valve? If I can rotate the tanks around just 90 degrees that would solve the no room to get the wrench on the tank valve issue.
I have no use for more storage, solo traveler and travel very light on the camping related items.
