I'm into luxury but it will kill you in the long haul. I don't mind walking to go get some gas.
I do power only loads, so I'd have to find another way of storing a canister. I don't believe underneath the bunk would be the safest bet.

You're correct, under the bunk (inside the cab/bunk) is not only dangerous, it's not allowed. There is a clearly defined quantity of gas (hazmat) that you can carry with you exempt from hazmat regs. It applies to anything from spare cans of gas and diesel to things like propane tanks and such. It also stipulates where you can and can't carry these items, specifically they CAN'T be inside the cab/sleeper and must be in appropriate containers that are properly secured for transport (IE: you can't use bungees to hold them to the catwalk! Rope or properly rated straps are fine, as is an external storage box). If you exceed the quantities then it falls under the hazmat regs for cargo. I think 5 gallons is the number for spare containers such as gas or diesel, but I'd have to look it up and don't have my hazmat guide with me right now (I'm at home).
