I have a Class A Motor Home and I carry my ladder on the ladder that is on the motor home because I need it to reach the awning knobs when I deploy the main awning. I measured all of the compartments and none is large enough to carry the blue tank. I have thought of putting it between the rails of the frame where the spare tire is normally carried but the MH being so low it would be a bear to get it out each time I need to use it. How do the rest of you carry your blue tank? I have been carrying it in the toad but don't really like carrying it there. Any good suggestions.

I have one in one of the bays on the drivers side. Never had a reason to use it though. If I take it out, wife will just find one more thing we need.

Strap it to the ladder in addition to your extra ladder. It's not heavy and I would think it would work.
I carry mine in a bay.
For Don Don, a blue tank is a portable tank that you can used to empty your gray and or black water from the coach when you don't want to break camp to drive to a dump station.

You could tow it behind the motorhome, of if you have a toad, just double tow!

In my '07 FW Southwind, I took off the wheels and managed to get it into a compartment (I made the wheels into a quick disconnect affair w/ drilled axles, and pins). On the new Providence, it fits into the pass-through compartment. Mine is the 18 gal version. Robbie

Mine is in the shed behind my garage. I put it there right after I bought it about 8 or 9 years ago, I guess it was something else I didn't need.

Try one of these for carrying extra gear and hitch mount it on the coach or the toad.

darbyjudy.....Look in the area of your propane tank and see if it can be slipped above it. On my coach, I was able to hide it above the fuel tank.
