I decided to add an AT Overland 10 pound propane tank holder to the camper. I wanted to be able to carry a 3rd tank, mainly for our little red portable firepit. I bought it from Kakadu Camping here in BC, who ordered it from AT Overland for me. I used aluminum stock the same thickness as the propane tank holder, and attached it with one L piece along the bottom, and two more flat pieces, all bolting to the jack bracket. It seems very well connected, I had considered adding a fourth attachment point, to the flip-down step bolt, but I'm not sure it's necessary.
The tank is held in place by clamps that bolt on, which is good for security, but does take a socket to remove. It's not a real big deal, and I think I prefer this over a wing nut.

nice i’ve been looking for a version of this for the 20# tanks, no luck. so i made something and will test soon. pics to follow
 
Good job. Those jack brackets are handy. I used the same bracket to mount a Rotopax gas can. I'm thinking of designing a removable shower curtain frame on the rear driver's side bracket.
 
Sorry for the delay in responsing to this.... here is my solution for mounting a 20# tank to the outside/back of my camper (Hawk).

Here is is, rock solid.

I made a sturdy support out of steel flatbar, and cut a curved groove into it to accept the bottom edge of the tank

I added D-rings to the outside to enable me to use two flexible straps to stabilize the tank. I thought "flexible" would be important since the tank is essentially sitting on the bumper, but stabilized by the camper. Some movement is inevitable.

These are reinforced with some aluminium flatbar on the inside of the camper. (this is where I store my potti-bucket - Passenger side rear of the camper)
