Thought I would share even though I'm lost for words.My wife of 35 years who is highly educated and highly intelligent keeps leaving me speechless. Today I grabbed an extra tank of propane for our extended vacation and sat it outside the trailer while I was tending other obligations. Wife says she stored the tank in safe place as she's trying to help.Um she put the tank "30 gal" in the trailers shower with glass doors....it's just sitting in there and we have 4 hr trip.Never would I disrespect my wife but it amazes me how intelligents doesn't necessarily equate to common sense.

Um you're not that lost for words. You owe your wife an apology.

Maybe she has strength of mind and body?

To some, the glass around the tank would be a issue, and with the 50-60 lbs of weight could be a big hammer while going down the road.To me, more of a issue is the tank inside a area of the trailer that is not properly vented.

I'm always surprised how strong my wife of 45 years tomorrow is. She has and still can help with a lot of heavy furniture etc. The placement is another issue. They call it multitasking.

It doesn't matter how intelligent people are, male and female, some just don't understand the Law of Inertia.

Where to store extra Propane tank....unbelievable.

Tell me, you just can't teach common sense. Kind of like when someone posts a gripe about a wife on a forum of thousands.

Can't image the repercussions if she were to read the thread. :E :S

I can’t believe she could even lift a “30 gallon “ tank lol.
Separate comment. How “extended” and remote of a vacation? As 1 30 “pound” bottle will last well over a month during the summer with full time fridge hot water and cooking.
You may not need an extra bottle?
