I have 2 - 30# tanks in the camper so I can just step out and open the other valve (I don't trust the automatic switch function)..
I will be checking on getting a 100# bottle delivered today then use the 30# tank as a reserve only..
A 100# bottle would make it a little easier on ya.

I would be that guy! Haha. As far as I am concerned this is a great winter so far. Very little snow and warmer temps! I will take it.

Afternoon guys, hope everyone has had a fun day in the snow.

Went to get a haircut and got yelled at for where I parked... The only open parking spot had a good 3-4 foot drift of snow sooooooooo... Challenge accepted. Apparently the building maintenance guy didn't like that very much.

It was a bit more packed down that I had thought and I ended up on top of it vs in it... I thought it was amusing and I wasn't about to park across the street. But I guess plow piles are a no go for parking on

Evenin' guys....

I finished fabbing and installing my front flairs today.. I sure miss my shop, but enjoyed myself in this process anyway. Since there was not a good surface to mount to in the front, I got to do a bit of metal working using aluminum angle - cutting and beating it into the right shape. From there I had a surface to mount and rivet to...
I still have the rear flairs to do and will be doing door bottoms too..

Bottom picture is a shot from the other end of the street I am on. You can see my camper at the end of the street (if you did not turn, you'd run right into it)...
