    Propane pressures

    I know, that's why I thought it didn't mean much. This whole thing has been a bit of a PITA! Nothing is ever simple. I will update this thread when I have an outcome. That way if someone else comes across this, it may help them. Thanks for all your help!!!!(y):cool:

    Propane pressures

    Yes, I agree with this too. But, I think the fitting swap is an easy thing to try. If it doesn't work, I'm only out 10 bucks. Then, my choices are: carry another tank with me, tap into the trailer's tanks before the regulator, or buy a new stove. I'd rather avoid the last one if possible...

    Yes! exactly.

    Propane pressures

    Yes. That is the model I have. I was thinking of trying something similar: The hose I have now, has a fitting that screws into the regulator. I'm going to that one off, and put this one on. Then try it. Geez...this is nuts!! Why can't they ever make things simple. Or at least explain it...

    Propane pressures

    I found a Coleman fitting-to-3/8 flare connector. I think I'm gonna try that first. It's a cheap fix, if it works. If it doesn't I'm only out $10. But from what everyone here is saying, I think I need to tee into the tanks on my trailer.

    Propane pressures

    There is a hose that can connect from a 20 lbs tank, to devices that use a small bottle. I did that with a small heater that I use in my garage. I found the regulator on Amazon: PN 5430. How did you find the manual? I was all over the Coleman website and they don't even list that model stove...

    Propane pressures

    The TT has 2 50 lbs tanks with (I would think) a standard diverter valve/regulator. It's plumbed underneath to the furnace, tankless water heater, and the range. Then there is a quick connect that comes just underneath the outside wall. I don't know what pressure it's regulated down to. The...

    Propane pressures

    Hello all, I have a question. It might be in here somewhere, I just couldn't find it. So I am hoping for some help. We have a Coleman Hyperflame model 5497. Our '22 Keystone Outback TT has a propane quick-connect outside for a propane stove. However, I am unable to get it to light. I just...

    how to cover

    Update as promised. We just put the cover on. I'm not a fan of ScrewTube (topic for another forum), but I broke down and found a video of someone installing a cover without getting on the roof. Well, some of the info was useful...however... the struggle was actually getting it ON the roof. The...

    RV defense

    So, I'd like to actually respond to the original topic. We are RV newbies, and (as of this posting anyway) don't have a safe place to store any firearms in our TT yet. The wife and I both have CCP in our home state of Pa. We do carry from time to time. We live in an old house in an old...

    Surge Protector for 30A Travel Trailer

    Ours disconnects shore power until the voltage comes back up and then reconnects. The one time it happened, it only lasted a few minutes. The alarm went off, but other than that, I didn't noticed anything else. For us, we can boondock for 3 days (without running the a/c) from the dual...

    Sewer Hose

    Rhinoflex. The one we got has a clear elbow. The kit is fairly complete. We needed a second hose and a Y connector since we have 2 grey tanks. That ladder support gizmo is pretty handy too. It helps maintain a slope toward the sewer tank. A couple extensions wouldn't hurt. Sometimes you...

    Surge Protector for 30A Travel Trailer

    We are also RV newbies. Advice from a friend (and forums/FB) suggested some sort of protection. To us, our TT is sizable investment, and thought it was money well spent. We've only been out a handful of times and had a low voltage alarm come on once last fall. And, didn't think of it til now...

    Surge Protector for 30A Travel Trailer

    Someone once described owning a RV (or a pool) as a big hole in the ground that you dump money into. I can't really disagree with that. However, I hope our payback is the enjoyment factor.
