Remember this picture from last post? Ok, let's talk about being parked for a long time, for me that's more than 2 weeks, in cool weather.
My onboard propane tank is small by some standards, it's about a 7 gallon tank. And when that tank gets low on gas I have to pack up everything and drive the rv to a propane place to get tank filled. Not anymore, I've installed what's called an "extend-a-stay" kit on my tank which allows me to use a portable tank and when that one is empty I just put it in the car and take it to a gas station to get it filled without having to move the rv.
Notice the "do not close this door" sign? This door is held open with a small clip barely visible on the right side near the hinge. That is the third clip because propane fillers don't pay attention on how this door is held open and they just close it by pulling down, breaking the clip. My sign still doesn't stop them from closing the door.
Shinny new brass fittings. The main tank is shut off allowing
propane to flow from portable tank into existing rv propane lines.
I'm not filling my on board tank, I'm bypassing it.
I also bought a propane tank for my ProCom propane heater.
Enough about propane. Next post, new tow car.
Here's Bubba getting to know the neighbors.
