Wingnut and any others using zip ties, make sure you use a method of securing that does not allow for chaffing of the lines. If you just use one tie through the holder and the line, the line will rub against the zip tie and cause wear. Use about 3 zip ties. One around the line alone, one through the holder and a third that goes between the two other zip ties. That puts the wear on the ties and not on the line. You can then also tighten the ties around the line to prevent shifting while you are moving. Frankly it's a better system than what they used at the factory that allowed movement of the line in relation to the holder. A hole in the propane line is not a good thing.
