Re: Propane Refill
enblethen wrote: Can you post make and model of the tank? It should be stamped in the collar of it. Normal tank retainers clamp down on the collar. The website shows a horizontal clamp type ring, is this what you have? It should be able to secure any standard propane tank. I'm not near it currently, but yes its just a clamp style ring. I'm sure it'd work with any. I'm going to do a little local research to see who does refills near me. Thanks for all the input.370Views0likes0CommentsPropane Refill
So this seems like a basic question, but I'll ask anyway because I've seen varying answers. Our new trailer has one 20# propane tank. It generally looks just like a tank at your local Menards you can do an exchange on. However, there does appear to be a raised ridge around the perimeter about half way up. I'm guessing this may help keep it in place. The question is since I've just got what appears to be a standard tank is the best option to simply do a propane swap like I would for my grill? I could see some of the others options come into play if I had a bigger tank or more tanks but for just one 20# that seems the most logical. Correct?10KViews0likes47CommentsCarrying Options for Full Size TV Spare
I currently have a 2013 Ford Explorer as my TV. I've come to realize that the Explorer currently doesn't have a full size spare with it. I'd really like to have one on hand, but am not sure how I would carry that. Any options or recommendations? I do have a rack on the TT for its spare and wondered if I could somehow add on to that, but haven't had much luck figuring that out. Thanks for any advice.961Views0likes5CommentsRe: Tow Vehicle Tire Pressure
So truly the only safe bet would be to load up and get it all weighed to really verify how everything sorts out. I have a pic of my tag and looks like front axle rating is 3100 and rear axle is 3300. Cold pressure is listed at 35 but sidewall max says 44. So I'm thinking that I'd like to bump that up to about 42 at least. It didn't ride horribly on the interstate but I'm hoping that a 20% increase in pressure may stiffen up the ride a bit.650Views0likes0CommentsTow Vehicle Tire Pressure
So to make a long story short we had a flat on our first outing with our TT this past weekend. It appears that it was a puncture to one of the tow vehicles tires, but during the ordeal our roadside assistance gentlemen made a statement that concerned me. He was commented how my tires were really just light duty tires and likely not adequately inflated to be pulling what I have. So now the question becomes who should I turn to for help assessing what tires and pressure would be ideal? I've been reading conflicting information on the web and want to make sure I'm not putting myself in danger. I will consult my local tire shop for advise, but does anyone here have general guidelines they use such as inflating to max psi listed on the tire sidewall etc. Thx4.9KViews0likes21Comments
