Propane line Placement

[Beemer Phil]

We have a 2018 Passport Ultralite 2920BH and found the placement of the black iron propane line runs almost the entire length of the trailer under the frame. All the other trailers owned this line was run on the side of the frame rails. Having this placement limits you to where the trailer can be lifted from. Is this common in other Keystone products? Any thoughts?

We are not a keystone dealer, but I see the pipe mounted in different configurations, even same model.

I think most of us lift our trailer by the axle U-bolts. I have the propane pipe running along the bottom of the roadside chassis rail, so I couldn't jack at the frame either. Since I don't jack the other side at the frame, it really hasn't impacted anything I do to my trailer, and I do all my own maintenance to include axle/bearing maintenance, brakes, tires, etc.

Depending on how you decide to lift your tires/axles, it shouldn't make any difference.

If you don't like the current location, just move it. Ours on the 2005 Copper Canyon to mount the shocks I needed to move out gass line about 4" away from the frame rail, just replaced a 2" nipple with a 6" nipple. Then relocate the mounts, appliance lines are soft copper tube so just a bit of re-bending.

Ours runs under the frame on the passenger side. I hadn't thought about the impact of it for jacking until you mentioned it. However, I would normally jack wheels up at the connection of the axle and the springs. I found out long ago that jacking something up by the frame is a fools errand. By the time you take all the weight off the spring, the vehicle is about three stories up in the air.
