Re: So.....I smoked a couple of antelope
It was the stock Chevy bumper. It is amazing there wasn't more damage after seeing how flimsy it was. I live in South Dakota and work in Wyoming, commuting 100 miles each way, and staying in the...

Re: Furnace removal
I guess I don't follow the logic in replacing a dedicated RV furnace with a portable propane heater in hopes of it being safer. All campers that use propane inside should have a propane alarm and it...

Re: What propane tank?
saabman, if you look at the first picture you will notice a hole in the side of the channel with white paint around the hole. I used an 1-1/2" hole saw. This allowed me to get a nut and washers in...
