Re: Need help with propane issue!
Thanks for all the reply’s. It will do this at around 40 degrees or below. I have determined the pressure or flow is low by lighting the stove top. When I do this the flame will drop very low but doesn’t usally go all the way off. Last night it dropped pressure about 3 times within 4 hours. It is connected to a full 100 gallon bottle and this problem didn’t start till I had it delivered. After it dropped for the third time last night I switched it back over to one of my smaller bottles and didn’t have any further problems though the night. I now believe the problem is in the bottle but do not understand what is happening so I can convince my gas supplier that the problem is in his bottle.495Views0likes0CommentsNeed help with propane issue!
My propane will work fine to 6 to15 hours straight then all of a sudden the gas flow will become very low. Sometime after turning all appliances off for a little while it will start working again and then again sometime I have to shut off the gas supply and disconnect the bottle then reconnect and turn back on before it will work again. While disconnecting the gas line it is under pressure and the gas indicator is still green so I am assuming the problem is not at the gas valve in the bottle. This led me to believe I was experiencing a freeze up at the regulator or experiencing a regulator malfunction. I have since that time replaced the regulator with a high capacity dual auto change regulator. When I changed this out I discovered a 16” low pressure line that leads from the regulator to the copper tubbing which distributes the gas was leaching oil and getting soft. This line was replaced as well. Everything appears to be working fine for an extended time then all of sudden the gas flow will slow way down again. Has anyone experienced anything like this or have any ideas what the problem may be?4.7KViews0likes25CommentsSlide reliability - Are they reliable?
Years back I had 1995 5th wheel it had problems with the slide rollers and seals, etc. due to this I have been reluctant to get anything with slides. However I now find myself wanting another RV and plan to do a lot of boon docking. Moving ever few days or so. It seams that it is very difficult to find many units without slides so I am wondering do the units after 2004 or so have better slide mechanisms? Are they dependable enough to slide in and out on a continual basis? I would appreciate hearing of your experiences and concerns. Thanks.7.3KViews0likes36Comments
