    Hey guys, just installed the Rough Country molle bed panels to mount a 15lb Power Tank using their bed panel plate, and realized the mount sits at an angle so when the tank is fully mounted and locked in it hits my campershell window. Anyone else with the same problem or ideas to fix it? Thinking of building spacers to try and fix it, but maybe there’s another option I’m not seeing. Thanks!

    Its says it can be transported vertically or horizontally.... move the mount from up/down to side to side. Or move it forward to the front away from the window.

    Would prefer it to be vertical, and as close to the tailgate as possible so that I don’t need to take it out every time I use it. However, do to the campershells window shocks and the heighth of the tank, it has to be pushed back a little.

    I used spacers with longer screws, and a metal plate so it didn’t fall through the molle panel. Not as clean as I’d like it to be, but it’s a solution.
