Gas filled
There are things that you do not do at home. The list is actually quite long. Yesterday the RV went to the city and got its very first refill of propane. For us this was the first time ever. Across two vehicles. Hooking your RV up to your propane tank at home is not recommended and we knew that. Locally you have to have a trained professional on site. Someone who understands all the dangers involved. Something more complex than my playing with CO2 and some hoses. And the RV tank is now filled. To 80% because that is the law. Based on our current use patterns that will definitely get us through the rest of this vacation. Why have we not looked at this problem before? No need. We also had electric heat and the idea that a gas furnace was perhaps not always available was perhaps less of a problem. But now we know the secrets. We know we can just go to a company in the city and they will do all the hard work. For around $20. A bargain when you think about it. Not much more work than when I swap out the gas tank for the barbecue. Will this change our travel pattern? That is above my pay grade. I know that a cold night can be quite uncomfortable and we now have taken that problem and put it on a side shelf. Better prepared for the future. The on board water tank was also topped off so we’re running out of excuses for not hitting the road. I know, hitting the road is hard on the fist. And the pocketbook sometimes. But we are able to plan ahead and so we shall. Knowing that will have the comforts of home with us.
