    I really like your no-nonsense no marketing approach in your videos. Real life situations and making the most of your RV lifestyle. We have lived in our RV full time on and off and I must say I really miss full time RVing. We have been RVing for many years and I came across your videos and am still able to learn new things thanks to watching your excellent presentation skills. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.

    When I used to camp out all the time, I had a spring scale that we used for many purposes...One of which was to see how much propane was left in our tanks...weigh it full, then weigh it empty...you'll eventually get damn good at estimating how much is left...hope this helps...Also have an idea for the cold floor problem...In floor heating...we actually used heat tape 25 years ago...not a new concept...Also helps conserve propane, as the thermostat won't kick the furnace as much...happy trails friend...

    A friend of mine actually used a 20 lb bottle all the time to refill his onboard tank. He'd connect the bottle and tilt it and "fill" the RV tank.

    • @JCredTV
      @JCredTV 10 років тому

      Yeah I'm on a mission to try it or figure out how he did it now too. He's not in town any longer. But I want to have a backup 20 lb bottle myself that I can always use to refill in an emergency. Having a bottle sitting outside next to the rig isn't ideal as I urban camp in the city mostly.

    • @asphaltadventurer
      @asphaltadventurer 4 роки тому

      @@JCredTV If you are not certified in propane systems, you can't legally refill an onboard tank or portable cylinder. It doesn't really make sense either because it would take less time to hook the hose to the portable cylinder, then take portable into town and refill vs the risks involved with not knowing what you are doing. It's not as simple as draining water from one container to another.

    One trick for those portable tanks is to look for condensation on the tank to tell how full it is. Usually right after using it for cooking or something else you can see a line on it or feel for temp difference on the tank to tell just how full it is.

      I know this is very old but, the most accurate way imo it to just put your tanks on a mechanical scale and leave them there, make yourself some nice big 1/4 1/2 3/4 full. Lines you can see out of one of the windows. Or use a digital scale, pull out the screen and run a wire inside

    • @asphaltadventurer
      @asphaltadventurer 4 роки тому +3

      The person filling probably wasn't certified because the 80% full indicator valve was not open to allow air out as liquid went in. You can't force propane into a tank full of air without a means of releasing the air.

  • @jaicolorado1842
    @jaicolorado1842 10 років тому +1

    The tank you were showing is actually a 4.2 Gal, not 2.5 like another comment offered. They also make something called "Extend-a-stay". This is a propane attachment that would allow what you showed to happen with quick connect hoses. A lot less wear and tear on you regular propane connectors and very fast. You can get that at CampingWorld or probably off Amazon for less. BTW the larger tank hols 8 Gal. and and is commonly referred to as a 30 pound tank. That's kinda silly cause the dang thing is sure heavier than 30lb full.

    • @jaicolorado1842
      @jaicolorado1842 10 років тому

      And if you go to Amazon you can get the MH tank to hose adapter with the quick-connect and the quick-connect hose for @ $45.. Of course you will pay shipping unless you are Premier.

    • @asphaltadventurer
      @asphaltadventurer 4 роки тому

      There's no point doing so even if you could because you would need several portable cylinders for extended stay and if you transferred the cylinder to your onboard tank, you would still have to drive to get the portable one refilled to bring back. You have to be certified in propane systems to legally fill or drain propane tanks /cylinders.

    other than propane, have you had any issues with your shore power cord? issues where you would have to replace the male end or splice the end to make it work? I am currently fixing my class A and the person who had it before me really messed up the end of the cord with many splices. would love to see a video or just know if you had any tips for such a thing.

    • @Robnord1
      @Robnord1 10 років тому +1

      The very best thing is to just replace the shore power cord because the male plug is molded on. That keeps water out and offers strain relief. Those replacement ends are difficult to get on and an incorrect connection can cause problems that can damage equipment or hurt you. With a new cord, you know things are correct. RV repair is my job for last 18 yrs..

  • @sbrazenor2
    @sbrazenor2 10 років тому

    I noticed on a comment below that you mentioned a difference from summer to winter consumption. Something I was wondering is whether you move further south when the winter comes. I have a house and have been considering the RV lifestyle, but I know I would be tempted to live further south during the winter to stay warm. Is propane / fuel consumption something you consider when planning your trips?

    • @sbrazenor2
      @sbrazenor2 10 років тому

      That is pretty staggering. $1800 is almost 3x your monthly expenses. Perhaps the 'benefits' are outweighed by the costs in that situation. Would that cost mostly be from fuel, or do you anticipate that you would have to pay some kind of fees for parking as well?

    There is also a cheater hose that has a connector like at the auto-propane fuelling station at one end and a 20 lbs connector like a BBQ hose tip at the other and if you run out of gas with the RV. then connect a full 20 lbs on it like it was a gas pump and flip the 20 lbs upside down and higher then the RV's and then open the valve. A good trick is to have the hose through the window and on a bench inside the RV. As to not be in traffic.

      There is a liquid level dial gauge on the fixed tank itself. If it is broken, you could always just light a stovetop burner. There will be a short delay of about 20-60 seconds for the propane to displace the air in the line coming to the burner once the burner is turned on to lite.

    • @nomadicfanatic

      That's strange. I'd get a second opinion! Those on-board tanks are not eligible for tank date inspections. If it's truly pitted and looks compromised, I can see some places not being comfortable filling, but I'd check other places. Certainly they very rarely ever inspect my on-board tanks. Once caught a guy looking for a date code.... And I had to school him on the law. He can look on portable tanks, but not on-board tanks.

Oh and Camping World said they don't sell those kinds of Tanks and they have no way to order them, seriously it's called Camping World they sell RVs and they can't get an RV propane tank what's wrong with that picture.

      It worked well back then, but today, I've actually installed an "extend a stay" between that same port before the regulator and the onboard tank so that I can just hook my external tank right up without the mess. I even have 2 of the tanks stored in the bay next door to my onboard tank for easy swapping if I'm boondocking for long times. I can just throw tank in my car and go swap or fill and be fine.

    Don't you have to turn your tank up side down and you didn't show to turn on your big tank, That's what I saw on other videos. ( Just asking)

    Looking to hook mine up to a 100# propane tank. Anyone know what I need to do for that?

    • @asphaltadventurer

      Will need a longer run of approved propane hose and ensure the hose connects to a 2 stage regulator prior to entering the RV spaces.

    Ok but how do you put propane in the RV tank if the RV engine runs on propane?

    • @asphaltadventurer
      @asphaltadventurer 4 роки тому

      Probably similar. You have to be licensed to fill or drain propane tanks / cylinders.

    Mine is installed with copper pipe. Is that normal?

    • @asphaltadventurer
      @asphaltadventurer 4 роки тому

      Usually, on the exterior of the RV underneath, flexible hose is used due to all the vibration from the road. However, if it doesn't look like it has been tampered with or changed since it was new, then it is fine. All the interior lines used to be copper though now they are using aluminum because its cheaper and lighter.

    maybe it has been said, but you can get a cheap propane regulator with a gauge that will tell you how much is left in that can. You probably already thought of that, I just thought to mention and pretend to be smart ;)

      +rachael rojas-moreno Find an RV repair shop and schedule an appointment for a RV appliance demo. Some do this for free, sometimes you have to pay for the time it takes. Or find a friend who knows RV nearby.

    Almost seems like you could set up a system where you have an extra hose and just switch a valve to go to the bbq tank.

    • @asphaltadventurer
      @asphaltadventurer 4 роки тому

      The BBQ requires a higher pressure 10 psi regulator with black screw on cap. Your RV works on less than 1 psi or 11" water column and needs a 2 stage regulator.

    I have a dodge 77 or 78 sportsman class c... and I believe the fittings have changed and i believe its out of certification. So i dont think I could buy propane. I would also think since yours is from the 80's you would have the same problem...
    So did you ever do this with your old rv... do you have any advice for me on my 77.
    please shot me an email morganf86 at yah00 dot com

      My son has a 77 Dodge Sportsman with the original tank, and we had no problem driving it to the propane place and having it filled. The gauge however is wonky and doesn't read correctly.

    • @asphaltadventurer
      @asphaltadventurer 4 роки тому

      Onboard "fixed" tanks are regulated by ASME in the united states and do not require re-inspection like portable DOT (dept of transporation) cylinders do. It's up to each certified person whether they feel comfortable filling your onboard tank based on a visual inspection.
