    Adding a larger propane tank

    I have 2 15lb propane tanks I bought a 40 pound but having some trouble getting a hose that will hook up to my current tank. I bought a hose it said it was 1/4 but was too big to replace the hose that I could remove. Where can I get the correct set up.

    Propane leak

    Hi. We have a Grey Wolf 22rr. We noticed a propane smell while camping this week, mainly right outside the door. No smell inside. We turned off the gas (and had a cold, but safe night.). We got home and purchased a propane sniffer. The problem point seems to be under the camper, where the main...

    Propane Stove Gas Leak

    I have a Dometic stove that is leaking where the gas burner valve mounts to the gas Manifold. On inspection the gasket is ripped and in such a condition I'm surprise it didn't leak from the get go. I've tried to use an o-ring which works pretty well but doesn't fully seal. Dometic says since...

    Are geo pros shipped with propane?

    Hello all! This is a question really to end a debate and as an FYI for me. Someone showed me on Geo Pros web page that the dry weight as shipped from the factory includes full propane tanks. I’ve owned three different campers in my life and only one had propane when I picked it up which was...

    So..... bad weather has hit the midwest, and my wife and myself pulled our camper up from our private lake to the house. I plugged it into power from the house and turnEd on the furnace and tank heaters....... no heat from the furnace. I figured one of us had closed the valves on the 2- 30#...

    Propane Alarm

    First time out and was doing fine until the propane alarm started flashing red, then green. I heard it only twice the first two days out while driving through our mountains...I believe when I drove over a hard bump in road but it never turned red. Last night was a solid alert with a red...

    Propane Tank Knob Problem

    We have a 2018 Coachmen Freelander 21RS Motorhome. We "cannot" turn the knob to ON or OFF. It just turns loosey, goosey right or left. I have sprayed a mixture of soapy/water on the knob and around the valve area several times and not seen any bubbles. We get flame from the burners when...

    Propane Display

    The inside control panel always displays the propane level at 2/3 full regardless of what the gauge on the tank indicates. What could be causing this and does anyone have a solution to fix it?

    Propane shut-off Valve on Isata 5

    The electric propane shut-off valve seemed to be very warm, it measures 141 degrees using an infra red thermometer. Is this normal, seems awfully hot and a huge power draw. This is with the motorhome parked and not in use. I would really appreciate any input on this issue as it is very...

    Propane use meter

    Does anybody know if there is a small flow meter, attachable to the propane tank, that will show how much has been used and can be reset to zero following refill? Have done a lot of searching but all I have found so far have been the big natural gas style used on the home. Would be great if...

    Convert Generator to Propane

    I will be getting a generator but hate to mess with gasoline. I would like to purchase a Predator 2000 or a Yamaha clone 2200 and convert it to run on propane. Has anyone done this conversion?

    Hi, I'm really interested in shopping for an external stove AND grill that I can hook up to the propane quick-connect on the front of my 176. I've seen some units that have a grill box you can place on top of the stove - I'm curious how well those work. Not looking for anything more than the...

    Propane hoses 2016 Wolfpup

    On a 2016 Wolfpup FQ there is a propane hose that goes from the regulator to the entry point of the camper in the front. I cant seem to find that hose with the correct fittings anywhere.

    Smell Propane

    Hi, Today I walked by my propane on my Forest River Wildwood FSX and smell propane pretty bad. I used soapy water on the hoses and couldn't see anything that looked like a leak. I see the regulator and nothing looks odd. Do they periodically let out propane when it get colder or is there a...

    Added a Second Propane Tank (2019 Isata 5 35DB)

    A long standing “problem” we’ve experience with our Isata 5 is the fact that the propane tank is hard mounted to the chassis. As we all know, refilling with propane means taking the whole rig to a refill location. First issue with this comes from the fact that any propane place has to have room...

    Scary situation regarding propane today

    Our camper lives next to a river that could have potentially flooded for Hurricane Sally, so I picked it up and brought it home. The house could flood, but I figure the camper is insured at the house, so we'd have less pushback if it gets flooded, plus if we needed to evacuate, the trailer is...

    Honda EU2200i: Starting and propane

    I was wondering how much effort it takes to start one of these (old guy alert) and if a propane conversion makes them harder to start. Is there any advantage to having a pair of "companions?" Thanks in advance
