RE: Propane tank refills
In my area the exchange tanks are twice the cost of a refill, along with the fact that they are short by 1-2 gallons. There was an article in the papers about an investigation some time back.

RE: New AGM batteries - can I relocate inside?
If you have a space problem, you can use Optima batteries and mount them horizontally one on top of the other.I did this for a client a few yrs ago.

RE: How do I camp this winter?
I am just north of you and have winter camped for many years. The big down side for us is the short days.We are stocked up with books and movies.I have not had any freeze problems so far.On my rig all the pipes are inside and in the snow country we usually keep the temp at 60.By the way, stock up on throw carpets the cold floor is a real wake up.

RE: camping with paper plates or not?
My TT and boat are set up to use either paper or china.The same with silverware.Its a lot easier to discard than toil away in the galley.What we use depends on the menu and guests.The wine glasses are always plastic.

Great place I fish there once a week.When approuching enter at the 10 lane ramp off Castle Hot Springs road.There are many off sites that you can boondock off the springs road.

RE: No 12v power, batteries are charged.
Do as Ditto suggests you have a bad connection. Check where the battery power enters the TT. you may have a chaffed or corroded wire.Iam a believer in using jumpers to trouble shoot and isolate.

RE: Choosing the right size travel trailer.
From an experianced observer,towing with an FJ is a hassle.My fishing partner has one.Down on power, too short coupled too be comfortable towing, visibility is poor when you really need it.

RE: New Faucet
I have replaced many, and all you may need in addition to the new faucet depending on model is too fab an adaptor because of the hole pattern. I use Corrian and glue it to the counter top to cover the old wide spaced holes.

RE: Living in RV
I did this some time ago while building my place.For long stays closet space is a problem,we bought a cheap tin shed for that.Unless your rig has duopane windows you might think about covering with visqueen and tape. The floor will shock you unexpectedly one cold morning so heavy throw rugs will be in order.A long walk before bed time will cure cabin fever.
GOOD LUCK\I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT

RE: Water Pump Silencing Mod Ideas
Along with the flex hose mod, the other painless mod that helps is to isolate the plastic pipe from contacting structure. I used rubber water pipe insulation at all the contact points and eliminated most noise and vibration.

RE: memory foam toppers
Get a 3 inch memory foam topper. Best investment you will make for the TT.

RE: how long does it take you?
It takes us a 20 minutes to set up and 30 to take down.The take down is longer because of the carpet sweep prior to stowing and the shower I take prior to getting in the truck.DW hates the smell of sweat, so I go the full route.Shower,Shave,and apply after shave.
