Just gotta ask, why would you need to replace the bracket on a 2024 trailer? I get confused easily.

Amazon has propane brackets. I just replaced the entire propane setup. Cheaper and easier than scraping off the the rust and repainting.

There are some 30Lb. aluminum tanks on the market that have a wider base
(9.625" OD) as opposed to the standard 8" OD bases found on steel and some aluminum 20 and 30 Lb. tanks.
Ask me how I know, I'm in the same boat!

I made a rookie mistake - move d my trailer 1 spot over on a recent trip - tailgate down, and on a turn, tailgate hit propane holder and slightly bent the 12/" - 30" rod. very minimal damage. I just moved to fast

If you want the exact replacement part, you should download the digital parts book for your trailer to get the part number. Digital copies of Owners Manuals and Parts Books are found at https://www.airstream.com/owners/manuals/.


On the other hand, just get a length of threaded rod from a hardware store, most likely a much cheaper alternative.

They come in 3' lengths and you may have to cut it down (screw on a nut or two before cutting and use them to clean the threads after cutting and dressing the end with a file). I can't recall the thread size, but I believe it is either 7/16" or 1/2". Bring your wingnut when you go shopping to find the correct thread.

If the fact that the full length threading is an annoyance, purchase a length of thin clear plastic hose with the appropriate inside diameter to cover the threads to match the Airstream original.

I replaced my rod this way when I moved from 30 to 20 lb tanks and the threaded portion did not drop down far enough to move the regulator in-line with the tank outlets.
