When I started this project. I made the decision that I was going to closely check everything out. I'm now well into putting things back in. And now it's time to install the LP components. I've found the copper pipe with brass fittings have all been tight, and in great condition. And will there out. I polished the ones inside that Linda can see. I did clean the grounding wire clamp. As it was very corroded. Sand blasted the stationary tank to check for rust pits. Tank passed. Replaced the turn on/off valve. As it leaked. The 2 stage regulator was fine. But got a new one from Jim K at Applied. I wasn't at all pleased with the condition of rubber hose between the copper pipe, and regulator. So these item might be somethings to look at for safety sake.Bob Dunahugh78 Mouse House

Part of my Spring re-dos is a five gallon fill from Frady and then a bubble spray on everything in the compartment.

I just finally took out my tank yesterday, which led to taking out the rear bed and fresh water tank, and... you know the story. A PO black tank vent roof leak left that area wet from the inside for too long, time to replace some floor...
I also experimented with the BBQ 20 pound tank substitute, and wow, that looks like some convenient storage for leveling blocks and who knows what. I think I will be doing a long term experiment with the smaller bottle.

Gary,
Me too!
Somehow I found out the o-ring on the gage was a special material.

Bob,
When I had my propane tank out of my 1978 Royale I took it to a local propane dealer and had them check it out and replace defective
parts. One thing I remember them telling me was the tank's sending unit gasket was really bad. One more thing you might want to
check.
Gary
