Thanks Dog DD, I'd just started to upload to the new gallery and found the information...was headed back to edit...but you're too fast for me! :o Thanks! D

Atta Boy & Photo Size ... I think sharing the trip is almost as fun as the trip itself :) Great write-up DD, as always, we enjoyed it very much. :thumb: I agree with the sharing comment...we've almost got a write-up complete to post and are getting ready to upload photos to the gallery. It...

Looks like home to me. Pods8, Every time you post a trip it brings back good memories! Keep it up:thumb: There used to be a great bakery out near the salmon hatchery but it seems like I remember the last time we stopped it had closed...do you know for sure? Thanks, 'birds

Ahhh...now I understand. It is rigid to the regulator, but flexible after. You unscrew the fitting to fill the tank, the other fitting is just for hooking up propane appliances. Nice setup, thanks for the clarification. Pods8, thanks for the tube size information. Hope the knee is healed and...

Tank Stays? how do you fill it? HERR42, I was thinking that was the slick thing about this...it looks like the cap with retainer comes off and you hook to the line without having to remove the tank...if so that would be a real plus for me. Happy Trails! 'birds P.S. After going back and...

Rigid Connection? Really makes me glad mine is setup this way. craig333, Your propane "hose" looks like it should take care of any concerns about an ACME nut! Is it set up similar to what it would be in a connection to a home? Is the plumbing rigid from tank to regulator, or is there...

Green Acme Nut Dog, That's what I mean and I haven't looked to see if it says that. It's the only "green nut" in the camper I could find (I'm bald and Susan's kind of a dishwater grey and the rest of the nuts are pretty much chrome or stainless. I'd go check it but it's been a long day of...

Welcome! GWK, Glad to see representation from Calgary! We did a short run through Jasper/Banff in October of '07 (before we had our camper) and it was an outstanding trip we hope to do again but take more time. Best wishes on finding a camper, eh? 'birds

$$$$ Scott, I checked out the foldable/rollable but the $ were high enough that it spooked me. The panel you got at < 14# (?) and around 26" X 30" sounds like it could be an easy portable too and for a lot less! Thanks! 'birds

Bald is Beautiful! Fisherman, Sorry to hear you're going to war. Sounds like you've won a few already and know the drill. As you say, piece of cake.:thumb: Don't worry about the bald part...makes hair care real easy..but if you really don't like being bald the flea markets in Yuma have these...

Don't get no better! Skeeter, Nice looking truck, FWC camper, a sweetie with a great smile and a camp in the trees. It just don't get no better! Happy Trails! 'birds

North to Alaska Barko1, I started to do a comprehensive post on the trip to/from Alaska but it was getting to small novel proportions so deleted and started over. Top recommendation: Make sure to get a copy of "The Milepost". It's "the bible" of travel from the lower 48 to Alaska & back. With...

Look forward to reports! Scott, We'll look forward to seeing your installation and hearing how it works out for you. The weight factor really is important to us too. Happy Trails! 'birds

Voltage Check Jack, Thanks for the information. I do have a multimeter and will check it. This should be a lot easier than the propane low/no flow to repeat and I can probably set it up to happen even with it sitting in the garage by running the battery down to 12.2 volts or so then fire up...

Tank/Hose Fix dsrtrat, I hadn't read your post on flow limiting hose/tank when I posted last (too close to the same time). Some of the problems we've had were at high flow (frig, furnace, stove running on propane and tried to light hot water and flow was reduced). From what you found it...

Weber does it too. I Googled propane problems and the first likely hit I had contained this: Joe TVWBB Member forgive my spelling! I am trying to answer this between calls. the hose you have has what is called an excess flow valve in it aka "bypass" valve. This device shuts the gas flow...

Fish Fry/Pig Fest/Get Well Fish, Wish we could make the trip to Eagle Lake...I could use the $. Enjoyed the Pig Fest posts/flicks...looks like you "done 'er right" and everyone enjoyed themselves, except maybe Marty's (Fire Proof) foot. Speaking of Dog, did he really bring his 1000 crunch a...

Hose Replacement Marty, Sounds like the same hose I have "...green acme fitting...". I'd appreciate knowing where you got the replacement and brand/model if available so I can get one I'm pretty sure is going to solve the problem. Have you been using it long enough to be pretty sure it's the...

Manchester Tank Snow Hunter & DD, I just looked at the propane tank in our camper and it has a little sticky on it that says "Manchester Tank". Don't know brand of the connecting nut/hose/tank fitting, it was too dark in the compartment for my old eyes to get it...I'll take a flashlight up...

Lost Focus Pods8, Sorry, it was late last night (well after happy hour) and I lost focus on the response to you. I do recall that capacitors store a charge and, since the time it would need to supply power is so short, a capacitor may be both the most reliable and economical way to make that...

Tank/Alarm/Capacitor Snow hunter: I'll check the tank tomorrow to see if the brand is on it and report back. Herr 42: I pull the fuse when that little sucker starts chirping every 30 seconds at 3 AM and plug it back in the next morning. It only happens when the furnace is running a lot. I...

Just New Ones? Dog, Is it just you and me that are having problems? Might be interesting to do a poll to see just how many folks are having the same problems and what year their camper was made. Could give a clue if FWC can pinpoint what's different in the propane system. If the older units...

Under Bed Batteries Camelracer, I'd like to turn the truck over every year or two and so would like to keep the investment in it (time and $) to a minimum. That said, the rig is coming up on two years old this October and we haven't replaced it yet, so, if they won't fit in the existing...

Portal & Propane Dog, What pods8 said. The tunnel runs left to right INSIDE the cliff the photo shows. The picture is of a portal (window) that looks out of/into the tunnel that is encased in the cliff. There are more portals along the length of the tunnel. The effort to build this sucker...

Propane Problems Con't DD, We've only had the furnace completely refuse to light twice but have had really low flows to second appliances (when furnace is running, stove/water heater won't light or are very weak flame...when water heater is running stove/furnace have low flame or won't...
