Probably the smartest thing to do to prevent middle of the night empties is to turn off the tanks before you go to bed. :angel:

Jim, Erika, thanks. That's some real world data to digest and will influence my planning depending on our destination. I went out and measured my clearances for going with 40# tanks, but when I lifted the 30# tank into place I just had filled, that cooled me off. I think I will get a spare...

There is quite a spread in the numbers. From a low of 3 to a high of 14 days per tank. I would understand some difference due to variables in owner usage, but 3 - 14 is huge. Are all the tanks likely to be 30# tanks, or are there larger/smaller tanks on various models here that might be...

I have been thinking about an extra tank. No a bad idea.

The new batteries are (2) 6 volt Interstate GC2-XHD-UT with 475 amps reserve capacity. THat should easily handle an overnight demand.

I do have a sight indicator on the regulator I will keep an eye on. 10 - 14 days? Wow, I would love to see that, but staying up late at night kills that possibility for us I would think. The batteries are fortunately new. And as I said, we stay up late at night watching TV. With satellite...

Well, that's better than I expected. Thanks guys.

We are new to this 5th wheel and are wanting some winter adventure. With outside winter temps running around 40-45 degrees days, 20-25 degrees nights, and having 30# propane bottles, how long will we likely go on these two tanks if we do some winter camping without hookups? We would try to be...

I forgot to come back with the results in my getting that chucking under control. I installed a Dethmers Glide Ride which I got from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OAQDFA/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00). The improvement was immediate, and definitely worth the $700. I installed it...

Re: Dah Questions I want to wrap up this thread, share some things I did, and thank everyone for their help. The rear jack motor was all rusty inside and I ordered a new motor from Klauber Machine and Gear, the manufacturer. $126 plus shipping. 2000 watt inverter is in with new batteries and...

Re: Dah Questions The Progressive Industries threw me. I thought it was the same company and was displaying charge amperage.

Re: Dah Questions Hey John, I found and ordered the Pendant, but I connot seem to find that digital display. Do you know what the model or part number is?

Re: Dah Questions I just looked in and the post I thought I made this afternoon to you didn't post. Let's try again. The owners manual indicates it is a three stage smart charger so I can use it instead of the inverter's charger and double the charging. That's great. And I like that remote...

Re: Dah Questions More good information to work with. The converter is working normally, but if it is not a smart charger, I will eliminate it and go with the inverter/charger I am installing which does have a smart charger. I was interested in the existing converter because if it is a smart...

Re: Dah Questions Does anyone happen to know if Heartland installs 3 stage smart charges or just puts in cheap whatevers. It is a 60 amp according to the 2008 brochure, the inverter I am installing is 3000W, but the charger is only 30 amps. 60w would obviously be better.
