    Replacing E19 Propane Cover and Securing Access Doors

    On one of our last legs of our recent trip with our E19, we didn’t secure the propane tank cover doors well enough and we lost them on the drive.

    Firefly, Mira, KIB and liquid levels

    Hello! Has anyone modified the Firefly software to read fresh, gray, and black water levels more accurately (after replacing the KIB sensors, of course) just like it reads propane? Current readings are less accurate than Nostradamus's predictions. It's never clear how accurate they really are...

    Furnace Fan Runs but No Heat or Ignition

    2020 17b, never had a problem before, but it comes on and runs and doesn't stop but it is running cold and I can't hear it even trying to start. Fridge is working on propane. Both tanks are open and almost full (though I couldn't hear one open so not 100% sure it is.)

    Adding Clearance for a Propane Tank Regulator

    I was looking at the propane regulator and how poorly it sits and was wondering if there is a different bracket or something i can get to push it out a bit further. The pigtails at each tank literally rubs against the tanks and bothers me. There is even black marks on the tanks where they rub. I...

    Propane Hose Rubbing on Front Stabilizer

    I was looking under my 2025 Flying Cloud 25 FBT and found the propane hose routed against the shaft and foot of the right front stabilizer. I would be concerned about the rubbing of the hose against the shaft and the edge of the stabilizer foot. It seems the simplest way to resolve this short...

    Refilling Small Propane Tanks Near Berkeley

    Hi, Maybe I'm getting old and grumpy, but I'm increasingly finding it a bother to refill my 5 lb propane tanks. Most local propane sellers in my neighborhood just do the 20 lb tank exchanges. Some places that do refill tanks have a minimum, so they'll charge me the 20 lb rate for _each_ of my 5...

    Converting a 26RKE From Tankless to Tank Water Heater

    Has anyone dumped their tankless water heater and gone to a tank? I would love to do that, but I know I will have to account for a tank and size and getting electric to that space. Not a fan of tankless as it really makes boondocking hard and really uses a lot of water. It has basically...

So someone at the lot messed with it. I did notice a propane smell outside but not inside. I checked and the tank is now empty and...

    2024 Thor Resonate propane tank overheating and venting

    I have a 2024 Thor Resonate 32b. My propane tank gets so hot that the relief valve is popping off and venting propane to the atmosphere. The tank is so hot you do not want to lay your hand on it.
