The RVPNR RV dual propane tank vertical rod with 1/2”-13 threading secures standard 30 lb LP tanks in a dual-tank bracket on campers and travel trailers.

This replacement vertical rod (model RVPNR012) is a simple, purpose-built part for RV propane tank mounting systems.

Built to fit common RV LP tank mounting patterns, it’s a straightforward part for maintenance and safety-minded owners.

How does this rod secure my 30 lb propane tanks?

The rod threads through the center of the dual-tank mount and tightens with a nut and retainer to clamp both tanks together. When properly installed, it prevents vertical movement and reduces rocking that can loosen fittings or straps. It’s intended to be used with the existing top and bottom mounting plates or brackets on your RV’s tank cradle.

• 1/2”-13 standard coarse threading for compatibility with common nuts and retainers
• Specifically sized for 30 lb LP tanks used on many campers
• Works with dual-tank bracket assemblies to lock tanks in place

Is this part easy to install on a camper or travel trailer?

Yes — the vertical rod is a basic threaded replacement piece designed for fast swap-out. Installation normally requires removing the tank hold-down hardware, sliding the rod through the bracket and tanks, then securing with the appropriate nut and washer. No specialty tools are required beyond common wrenches and basic hand tools.

• Quick-fit threaded design for straightforward replacement
• Compatible with typical RV mounting hardware and fasteners
• Can be installed during routine tank maintenance or replacement

What dimensions and fit should I check before buying?

Confirm your current rod uses 1/2”-13 coarse thread and is sized for 30 lb LP cylinders; this ensures proper fit with existing nuts and brackets. Also verify the rod length matches the distance through your tanks and mounting plates so the nut can fully engage. If in doubt, measure the threaded portion and compare to your existing hardware.
