    Propane System - Fridge "Auto" Issue?

    Hi all, I seem to have an issue with my propane system, and I think it's coming from the fridge, but could be wrong. Hopefully I can describe this well enough... Lately when the fridge is in "auto" or "electric only" modes - regardless of using shore power or not - my propane system does not...

    Temp vs Propane

    I know that propane tanks have a pressure relief valve that “burps propane” out when the pressure gets too high. So my question is, besides hosing it down in the heat, what are some other options that you all use to keep the propane tank cool in this heat? Umbrella? Popup Tent/Shower? Canopy...

    Water Heater - Works with Propane and Electric ??

    2022 FR East to West Alta - realized this past week that we hadn't switched on the hot water switch. We had the propane on and had used the stove once or twice. We realized we had hot water minutes after setting up yet hadn't hit the switch. Do these water heaters also run on electric?

    Replacing Sunseeker propane tank

    I’m replacing the propane tank of my Sunseeker 2860 (12 gallon horizontal tank, with a leak..) but struggling with the bolts holding it. Doesn’t look like there’s access to the head of the bolt, and they spin when trying to remove the nuts holding the tank. Any guidance on how to remove the tank?

    tank propane hose ball check valve reassembly

    When replacing the pigtails these parts of a check valve were mixed up a bit and I'm not sure which order to reassemble in the new hose. I believe the valve is so propane does not flow back into the empty tank in a two or more tank setup.

    Propane won't refill- check that washer/grommet

    bclemens has helped solve propane tank refill problems many times by simply pointing out to make sure the rubber washer/grommet is in place where the refill hose connects to the onboard tank. Many times this washer/grommet will stick to the end of a refill hose and get pulled out when the hose...

    RM1350SLMX - Fridge 54 Deg on Propane

    propane hose leak

    I just notice that one side on my propane tank hose is off. I am guessing from pressure. I pushed it back on but there is still a leak at the tank side of the hose. Its on a 2022 Della terra. I Lost the direct contact to them. I have had several problems with this Trailer.

    New 12v cooler to supplement 3-way fridge propane

    Our 3-way fridge has a horrible record of not working on propane when we need it. So we decided to get a 12v cooler box that runs easily on solar and battery. It gets down to -5F but we'll mostly use it for 35F refrig to supplement the 3-way when propane isn't working. Too bad low draw 12v...

    I have the Fairview Gas-flo GR-9944 regulator. About 15 months old. It seemed to work fine for about 7 months. Then whichever tank was being used seemed to need switching quicker and quicker. Now both tanks are showing red. I weighed one tank at 49.7 and the other at 51.6. (30 lb tanks). Any...
