Thus far Manchester Tank is the only source I've found and they're very proud of a 110 gallon tank - to the tune of $1600. And a 48-gallon tank is not much less expensive ~$1300. Both seems pricey to me, but what do I know? Meanwhile, I've poked around on eBay but only found 30 pound horizontal...

Did you ever get dimensions for the LP tank?

Good job of describing your experiences. Lynn laughed at your description of smoke coming back in the vent fan. Personally, I have no problem stepping outside to see a man about a horse (the euphimism my Dad used when taking a leak when he stopped by the side of the road). However, my wife . ...

Introduction I've been researching the issue of waste removal (before beginning to convert our 23' foot box into an RV). I've determined this problem breaks down into two categories; wet and dry disposal. Wet involves a blackwater holding tank while dry involves removal of fecal bulk versus...

Hey frodaddy, If you're near Orlando, stop in. John 407-302-3361

I like this idea best because it's what I have in mind for my 23' of box space. Like most guys here, I envision my own uses, which are outside the normal spectrum of Mom and Pop buying a motorhome to tour the old USA. Thus, what I suspect will happen for us is similar to what is mentioned...

Hmmm, I must have missed it, but is the 10KW running off the propane tank as well? Also, are you running off the generator a lot, or plugged in mostly? Finally, a 50g propane tank; what are the approximate dimensions?

Hi Don, Thanks for the information. I'm just trying to figure out how much propane to size the tank for. I had figured needing the AC and the fridge but completely forgot the waterheater - oops! Also, of course television, lights, microwave and poissibly electric toilet. Anyway, I am hopeful...

Propane consumption for a week anybody? I'm trying to size a tank for the truck so I can convert the Honda ES6500 to propane and thus, not around with gasoline (unless I run the propane dry). Advice - with data - would be quite welcome.

90#-GTSC - the nice thing about aircraft is they're made of aluminum and absent corrosion will last an indefinite period of time. Anyway, with the updates to Sweet-E, our 50+ year old aircraft is every bit as capable as a brand new $650k version (except she seats 4 instead of 6 and thus, being...

With a handle like bushpilot I figured you'd appreciate the Bonanza. We use her principally for travel to model events. FWIW, my A&P/IA swapped out the existing equipment platform (aft of the rear bulkhead) for a larger one because now, in addition to securing the beacon, it also permits...

I know styrofoam squeeks like crazy. I was thinking of the light blue stuff instead. It has foil on one side. Thanks for the tip about the heat pump, makes sense to have the capability even if I never think I'll need it. What brand split did you get? I'm thinking of getting an LG brnad.

What's FMSCA? Anyway, I'm in FL and changing the title to motorhome involved an affidavit and getting the truck weighed (22360# with half tanks and my fat ass). My full intent is to do the shower, bed, toilet, etc. thing with maybe 8' for model airplane workshop, toting the harley for local...

Hmmm, 3/4 ton is about 9000 BTU, which seems about right. Does it do a good job? Is yours a heat pump as well, or straight AC? Also, would you do it again, and what would you do differently? I'm thinking of going light on the insulation to mazimize space thinking a larger AC unit, maybe a 1-ton...

Definitely a possibility worth pondering. A bit of a cluster though. Frankly, I've been thinking about a whole house genset for years but each time I stay my hand because it's a lot of trouble and expense for a week or so of discomfort. Trouble because they need to be tested monthly, which I do...

How many BTU is that minisplit Doc, and how long has it been installed? Also, would you do anything differently? Finally, what capacity is your generator?

Four new batteries under my truck when I purchased it but I've been reading this thread with interest. I've been creepy crawling under the truck recently learning what there is to learn as I seekwhere to place components like water tanks, plumbing, and genset.

When Hurricane Charley hit us we were out of power for nearly 10 days. Meanwhile, the pool got green because we didn't have the capacity to keep the 2 hp pump motor going. Moreover, potable water was an issue because our 2 hp well pump posed a considerable load (the refrigerator was the primary...

Had a pleasant surprise today when I discovered the 20' box is actually 23' - yipee!

Hi Doc, What capacity is your genset and what are the dimensions? I have a 4'-ish long space at the left rear corner of the truck and crawling around today (OK, not crawling, laying on my back on the crawler) with tape measure in hand, this seems like the best for placing the genset. I figure...

There are SEVEN different brands of tires on my truck! I'm not sure how usual, or unusual this is, but there you have it. Steer: 295/75R22.5 L/F is a Dunlop SP384, which is in good shape - no dry rot and good tread. R/F is a General (Continental) S580, also in good shape. Drive: 295/75R22.5...

Does anyone use a 20K-ish diesel generator? Or have a recommendation? I've thinking this is severe overkill for what I need on the truck, but then I can subsequently plug the truck into the house in the event a hurricane knocks out our power - thus making the generator into a twofer, so to...

Has anybody come across unbiased testing of commerical truck tires? I'm thinking something like a Road & Track tire shootout, or a Consumer Reports style test. My tires are all pretty good but I have four different brands aboard - go figure. Anyway, I'm just curious and would like to read and learn.

That white looks very clean and with the old school fender mounted turn signals and the single bucket lights it's going to be sharp when you're done.

Sorry to hear of your plans to sell, but I understand how things change.
