Next system to tackle: propane.
My goal is clean, working, and added function.
Pretty example

(What is the pink layer under the mounts in this picture?)
Added function example

I want to remove tank, clean and repaint. Then replace shut off valve, regulator, two foot connector hose, copper pipe to fridge (it has a kink ten inches from fridge that a few mechanics have warned could be a problem, does not leak currently).
Shut off valve has mildly leaked between on and off positions for a while, but it has gotten much worse - I am assuming I should replace the whole valve unless someone tells me how it can be rebuilt/repacked.
I want to add the "T" to run outside stove or grill, or use removable tank if big one is empty.
The wood floor in back left, looking at compartment, is rotten. Does it extend into the floor inside the coach on a 1975 Glenbrook with an aluminum box around the tank? Or can I just replace what is right there like a panel? Is exterior grade 3/4 ok, or do I need marine plywood?
Another related problem is my furnace would run when electric was plugged in and on converter, but not on a fully charged battery. Could this be a gas regulator issue (hopefully solved with a new one) where pressure is on the line of functionality, or does this lend itself to internal furnace like sail switch on the line of works with 13.5 and not with 12.7?
