I've also been looking at fabricating a mount to put it on the bumper. The holdup, for a while, was finding a local welder. I finally found a local guy, a retired welder, who still has a shop at home and does excellent work cheap.
I always carried the tank in the truck, but the new truck has a shorter bed than I'm used to so I have to look at some other options for a few things.

I thought HTT's had an onboard storage tank. Didn't know you still needed a portable tank. Is this just some models/makers?
they do but some need a tote tank to help with extra gray water when dry camping.
i keep my 15 gallon Barker tote tank in the back of my truck.
An older post but I can answer it with what I am currently doing.
We have a 15? Gallon tote and I put it on the rear bumper between the spare and the camper. One bungee holds it in place.
This works for now but I don't like the way it looks.
In the next few weeks I plan on making a tray of some sort that will be under the camper. Some sort of hinge so I can slide the tote into the tray and then lift up the tray and lock it to the camper.
It should fit between a couple of the cross members of the frame. At least I hope so.
When I do tackle this project, I will take some pictures and post them here.
My 2005 Fleetwood manual makes reference to a bracket up under the p'up, but I've never found any evidence that it was there or even intended to be there. Does anyone have a picture or even a drawing or manual page that shows the factory arrangement for mounting the tote under the p'up? I'm pretty handy with a welder if I only knew what I was trying to duplicate.
On our hybrid, I think there is enough room to put the portable grey tank underneath similar to this. I will want one side to be hinged so I can lower the other side and roll the tank out for use. Then just raise it up when done and lock in place. I will have more of a tray instead of a single bar as shown in the picture.

rabird, you ROCK!
That doesn't look anything like my tote, so that explains why I couldn't figure it out on my own. And I suspect that, even with the pic and drawing, I won't be able to get my tote under there as it's too tall. But there's a sheetmetal shop that owes me a favor or two. Heh heh heh.
Thanks man!
