Mounting gear under the Monty...

Has anyone ever mounted anything under their Monty? As long as you are above the axles you should be O.K. I would think, but sometimes I think to much!!(It's an engineer thing!) I had visions of using the frame to mount to. This is just a thought!

I attached a 8" and 6" PVC pipe with caps under the front end of our 3400RL.
The 8" is for the outdoor carpet and the 6" is for the sewer hose.
All I did was for the 8" cut two piece of angle iron 10" long and 8" for the 6" pipe. Drilled holes about 3/4" in from the ends.
Used a threaded 3/8" rod and drilled holes in the frame.
I put the tubes in the area where there is the cut out for the gas bottles.
Then I used (4) nuts, 2 on the angle iron end of the rod and 2 on the frame end.
I had to cut a groove in the top of the 6" pipe for the gas line.
Drilled drain holes in the bottom of the 6" as it has the sewer hose in it.
Also drilled holes in the 8" caps to allow the air out of the tubes when I put the caps on.
I use a push pin with a small ball in the end of it to hold the caps on.

Hi Folks,

Just a thought here. If you want to get around drilling into the frame and you have an exposed I beam frame, you might consider Beam Clamps. Probably avail. at Lowes or HD.

To see some go to www.grainger.com and search Beam Clamp.

When you use them they clamp on and give you a threaded hole to attach a length of threaded rod, to hang stuff from. You use a nut to lock the rod into the Beam Clamp.

Happy Camping

Carlson,

I really like your idea for the carpet. Think I will borrow it. Thanks.
