Propane Tank Clearance on a Winnebago Mini With Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers

Question:

I have a Winnebago Mini with a gas tank and battery configuration like the example in the video. It looks like it would be difficult to impossible to remove the gas tank cover to replace the tank without removing the whole bike rack, and the tongue jack. My battery cover sits against my gas tank cover, and I have to remove both any time I have to access the battery. Would I have a problem with this bike rack, or am I missing something?

The measurement from the bottom of the bike rack to the lift in the rack is 27-1/2". Most propane tank covers are around 19" tall so you should have enough space to remove the cover and maneuver it around the bike rack as long as the bikes aren't on it. If you send me a photo of the propane cover and battery configuration I will have a better idea of your concern but as long as your propane cover is standard height you won't need to remove the rack every time you change the propane tank.
