Re: Gas storage for Generators
Hey Steve, thanks for that info. Something to think about. Like you said I really don't think I need a big unit for this camper. I have double pane windows and the camper was taken apart walls, roof ect and insulated for winter camper. Iceboating traveling up north. Been out a week in -7F with no problems so thinking it would also be good in heat as it would help cold in. Mike766Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gas storage for Generators
Well guys, I have a desiel truck. Two 20 lbs tanks of propane in an outside storage box built in the side of the camper for fridge 120v or Propane. stove/oven propane only. hot water propane only. and heat propane only. I don't have solar at the moment but thinking about it one day. The propane can get used up pretty quick if running the heat as well as other units. I have a Honda 2000 in a storage compartment area that it fits in without any other room. At some point I would like to put a small AC on the roof ( that's another question in itself, what small AC would run off a Honda 2000) so I would like to run the gen here and there for micro, toaster, AC and charge the batteries. I have room on the back camper outside possibly on the upper wall other side of the ladder where I was thinking about mounting a portable gas unit. Wanted a more permanent solution so it was always there if needed. I have in the past put a small gas can on a back rack hocked into the 2" receiver. Bungee it to the rack other side of the exhaust pipe. Worked fine but just one more thing to worry about when leaving on a trip.767Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gas storage for Generators
Thanks for the replys everybody. My generator compartment is only big enough for the gen.. My bumper area is not really a bumper and I also have rod holders back there so space is very limited. I would post a picture but having trouble figuring it out.476Views0likes0CommentsGas storage for Generators
Hey guys, been reading and learning a lot here. Thank you all for your time in helping others. I've been screaching and haven't found anything related to gas storage. TC are small as it is and it always seems like there's one more thing and no where to put it out of the way. My question is has anyone used a jerry can or Rotopax ect... for the back of the camper? We take the camper on the beach surfishing and with all the coolers and fishing gear a portable gas tank would be nice to have as long as it's out of the way. Any ideas and/or pictures would be great as I have a couple ideas but don't want to do anything that might be hazardous. Thanks9.5KViews0likes28CommentsRe: Photo Thread - Post a Photo of Your Truck Camper Here
