Question:

Will this item hold two 20lb propane tanks internally? I would like to mount this on the front of a boy scout trailer.

The Dee Zee Plastic A-Frame Trailer Tool Box, part # DZ91717P, has an exterior height of 17-3/4-inches. Its interior height will be approximately 1-1/2 inches shorter according to my contact at Dee Zee.

I measured a standard 20-lb propane tank here at our facility and it measures 18 inches tall, including the circular guard around the valve. This will be too tall to fit within the Dee Zee tool box.

We do offer a larger 7.24 cubic foot trailer tool box from Dee Zee, the aluminum # DZ91717. This unit measures 22-3/4 inches tall on the exterior and includes a lock with 2 keys. Items the size of two standard propane tanks should easily fit vertically in this tool box, but note it may not be legal in all states to place propane containers in an enclosure. Check with your local authorities to make sure.
