New guy with a problem

I'm new to the forum.
I probably did my picture the wrong way. Somebody please set me straight.

I just got this camper three months ago. My wife and I haave wanted one for a long time.
It is a 2009 Northstar 8.5 Arrow and we love it.
I have a propane issue.
My tank is a horizontal tank. It works fine until it gets about half empty then I seem to lose all pressure.

It has a new valve and a new regulator.

Can a float go bad? This is the only thing I can think of.

Also, is there a jumper line I can hook up to a vertical tank sitting on the ground and then attach to the propane hookup on the camper?

Thanks for the help on this.

Michael




I think I did it right this time. Thanks!

    The horizontal tank has "flats" welded on the bottom side so it can't be installed upside down.

  • Welcome to the TC Forum.

    Yes, there is a problem with your photo, it is too big. Part of the learning curve is getting the photos the correct size. The maximum width is 800, with 640 preferred. I will edit your photo for its size. You may look at what I changed by clicking "EDIT". You will probably see " width=640". I encourage you to review this link: RV.Net Tutorials and Picture related FAQ's

    You may want to post a photo of your truck on the Photo Thread - Post a Photo of Your Truck Camper Here.
