Had to spend the morning cutting down and hauling away half of a huge River Birch tree in my back yard... Wind during the last storm must have weakend it and part of it fell across my driveway just missing the camper....
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?

Thanks everyone on Sable.

Leave it to Cory to still be in July. But his truck looks good. Lol

Randy, 5 minutes in the old one. Easily 20+ in the new one.

Wow.. Must be a huge heater or one of those new fangled On Demand types eh?

Hmmm.... That doesn't sound so good... I am insulating all the pex tubing I can get at in the hot side.. Doubt it will help much. I'd like to get at least 10 minutes worth...
Thinking about one of those Hot-Rod mods too....

This one has a 12 gallon tank. You have 6. Maybe a different shower head will help. That thing was far too high flow.

We learned in shopping the on demand heaters didn't work out well I'm the campers. To much propane usage...
