Glad that we have a public brush pile on the other side of town.. Two showers before noon in the same day and will end up with another one before I turn in tonight...

Speaking of showers - how long do your hot water tanks hold out in your campers?

I have never timed it but the hot water lasts a decent amount of time for sure. This camper and my old camper were 10 gallon water heaters.

He doesn't use much hot water when there is no shower or bathroom in the pop up camper.

Good morning Troy and the rest of the Minnesota gang!

Thanks for the info on water usage.. Maybe I need to look into a larger water heater.. I get what you're saying about the propane usage...
