I will be watching this engine’s reviews closely.Re: California, UT, Alberta, B.C., WA, OR, back to CaliforniaIn May snow is very possible in Banff and Jasper.Re: Need some Alberta, Ca insight asap Johnny G1 wrote: Go to the nearest Costco and buy a new tank, less than $60 filled, certify will likely cost as much if not more. Nearest Costco is Edmonton or Calgary.Re: Need some Alberta, Ca insight asap romore wrote: Canwest Propane in Hinton is probably your best bet. If you are going on to Banff try Superior Propaane in Canmore. The nearest Costco is Edmonton or Calgary.Re: Need some Alberta, Ca insight asapHave you tried the Esso or Petro-Canada gas stations in Jasper? They might sell propane tanks. Canmore (short drive east of Banff ) has a Canadian Tire store that sells propane tanks. You could also try Canmore Outdoor Power Equipment Ltd. They are a propane supplier,but not sure if they re-certify tanks. The Tourism Jasper office might be able to help. Some companies that re-certify tanks might be closed until Tuesday because of the Labour Day holiday.Re: What to look for in purchasing a tow vehicle for my TTYou don’t mention what/who else will be in the truck. If it’s just you and the wife, or five kids, the dog and kitchen sink. Just you and the wife, a 1/2 ton will be fine, but if you have a family, a 3/4 ton truck might be needed.Re: Canadians: Going South this winter?No trips planned for the next 2 1/2 years.Re: CPAP battery solar charging questionI didn’t buy one. I bought 2 ! My wife also uses a CPAP machine. We have 2 Trojan T-105’s on our trailer. That would probably work for one CPAP , but not 2. And I didn’t want 2 12 volt marine batteries sitting on the floor in our trailer. So I bought the two Pilot-12 batteries. They are about the size of an old VHS cassette box. They should last about 2 nights with the humidifier off. I don’t really want to carry around a generator.Re: CPAP battery solar charging questionWe are going off grid for the first time. I don’t really want to run the truck to to charge the battery. Sun power makes a portable 40W solar kit that claims to charge the battery in 4-5 hours. So solar charging is possible. There’s a solar supply store in town. Maybe I’ll pay them a visit.Re: CPAP battery solar charging questionI won’t be using the humidifier. I found a 100W solar kit. Thank you for your reply.
