The dimensions you provided are correct, but we don't currently offer a enclosed cargo carrier where the inside height dimension of the pod is 18-inches or more.
The Yakima cargo carrier we currently offer is # Y62VR. It is 14-9/1 inches tall inside the pod, laying the propane tank on its side could be an option, although it would decrease the amount of cargo you can transport. If you keep the propane upright within the pod the cargo carrier may not close properly.
An option to consider is the 24x48-3/4 Carpod Walled, Folding Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - w/ Lid, Bag, Rise Shank - 450 lbs # M2205-01-02. The inside cargo bag dimensions are 46" long x 22" wide x 22" tall, but it won't have a swing out option.
I have included a few FAQ, instruction and video links for you as well. These videos will also assist you in making the best decision.
