    Hutch Mountain propane conversion kit for EU2200i

    Old news most likely, but - if you haven't seen it already - Hutch Mountain makes a great propane/Natural Gas converter kit for the ubiquitous lil Honda generators to let them run off either propane or natural gas. Kit is nicely made, well considered and goes together like a breeze...

    Overpressure on refilled propane tank

    Had my tanks refilled a week ago - one was empty, the other one just needed to be topped off. Shut the trailer down properly and put it into indoor storage immediately after.

    Manometer Question

    It seems that I may have a propane leak. I'm trying to verify it with a manometer. When I hook it up I show 11 inches of water column just as it should. But when I try to bleed it down to 8 inches for the test by opening up a second stove burner it doesn't go down. Does anybody have any idea...

    Propane Leak detector

    When installing my new one I accidentally did the foolish thing of allowing the wires to touch. It sparked and I am certain it blew a fuse some place and the new one wont work. I looked at my panel and there is no fuse marked for the propane leak detector. Is there an in line fuse in the wall...

    Pinched propane hose

    I was underneath my 2019 Isata 3 FW pulling a wire for a lithium conversion and noticed a propane hose pinched between the BBC box and propane tank. I tried to free it but the hose was as tight as a banjo string. I’ll have to disconnect it and get a longer hose. Just a heads up if you own an...

    I’ve now broken the external propane fitting on my ‘21 Force 37 BH twice. The first time was from running over a 2x4 that kicked up and broke it off. The second time was from pulling into our camp site, which was a field with knee-high grass/weeds. The process of pulling in-out several times to...

    Not a question of how as I have that part figured out. Currently have a Safe T Alert 40-442. Which is probably OE. 2004 Coachman Spirit of America. Have only owned it for a month. Should I just do a 1 for 1 and get another Safe T Alert. Thanks in advance

    Single burner propane cooker for GeoPro

    Hope this is the right place to put this... I've used the camp griddle that came with my 19FBS for several cooks now. I'd rate it as acceptable, but I prefer to cook on a cast iron or carbon steel skillet/frying pan - outside. What I'd like is a single burner cooker that I can put a frying...

    While dry camping at higher altitudes, 7k to 10k, my refrigerator (Dometic) at times, turns off. The pilot tries to ignite but at times the flame, (just for better terms), burps and won't relight and I get the error light. When I turn the unit off and wait a few minutes it will return to...

    Propane changeover stays green

    Hi, Should propane changeover regulator change to red after disconnecting the 2 propane tanks? Came back from a short trip and only used half tank of propane and everything was working fine. Wonder why it stays green even when after I disconnected both tanks. I have a Cavagna 924N. Thanks!!
