I have installed dual LP tanks on my 179. I have access to a Sawsall, drill presses, 4 1/2 inch grinder and other power tools. I bought a dual tank cover, laid it on it's side with the two tanks in it to get the measurement for a angle iron frame. I was at an RV show recently and looked how dual tanks are mounted, and copied that. I bought the dual tank regulator and cover at Camper World plus the hoses. I don't have a welder so I bolted it all together. I ground off the welds holding the square piece onto the angle iron that's welded into the frame, cut the old regulator bracket off, and bolted the new mount on. It adds about 40 pounds or so to the hitch weight. It will be nice not having to switch tanks in the middle of the night! Dealers may have some sort of kit, so you could check around. I had to extend the 3/8 inch line down from the regulator to below the frame for connecting to the gas hose. Use black iron pipe or copper for gas lines. It came out nice and neat.
