    I'm TIRED of this sit!

    I love my PICO chair but, man, I'm at a stage of life when I can't remember sit, so it is always good to have a quick private practice refresher session with it to review where to push and pull to make it magically open, prior to doing it in front of folks you might be trying to impress, like...

    Proper propane setup

    Tony Do you use your cook stove remotely (picnic tables, etc.)? Guessing if you do you would have a quick disconnect at the stove, with a shut off? I am designing a new system that will incorporate dual regulators and a "remote ability" feature and as well, using "black iron pipe" for the...

    Bear proofing on vehicle-based expeditions?

    Is there a possibility that some of you guys are off the mark in this discussion? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/soda-car-bear-1.6812541#:~:text=Sweet%2Dtoothed%20bear%20breaks%20into%20car%2C%20guzzles%2069%20sodas&text=A%20bear%20in%20Earls%20Cove,and%20the%20bear%20drank%2069.

    Proper propane setup

    You didn't mention it specifically but I am gathering that once you ran a direct line from the propane tank to the distribution block, you then ran two separate lines from that block. One line went to a 11" WC (+/-) regulator (your Flameking brand) and then onto the Propex heater. The second...

    [SOLD] 2000 Ford F450 7.3 Diesel 4x4 w/ Kodiak Camper and Garage $22,500

    I can't speak to the pricing of the truck but I have exactly the same camper as you and I would venture that your pricing is pretty much right on. For a whole bunch of reasons, any of the Canadian made molded fiberglass campers are both generally pretty good performers in their "from the...

    Propex HS2000

    I hope you get it squared away, sounds like Propex might need to step up. I also hope they don't sully their good reputation as a result of feet dragging. I for one will be watching how this unfolds. Exactly as you pointed out, mine runs fine at 11"WC right on the button so it sure seems that...

    Happy Hour in the South Saskatchewan River badlands. Looking down to the water, you can just see our tent and kayaks which are incidentally, of secondary importance at the time of the photo.....

    Propex HS2000

    Very interesting, thanks for sharing these Propex goodies. As I mentioned, didn't know about any of them. We are the same as you regarding the ducting and exhaust noise. I think they are both kinda nice, gives one that good feeling that all is well and the world is warming up (inside the...

    Propex HS2000

    I don't know, sounds like a lot of faffing around to have two regulators on the go. To me, and we are maybe starting to go around in a circle here but I would work on the Propex heater by itself at this point, as it seems to be the picky one. I would suggest, however you do it, to get a...

    Propex HS2000

    I can't remember if you mentioned this but did you actually initially test your outflow pressure with a WC" gauge? Interesting about adjusting what I always thought was an non-adjustable regulator. In the spirit of spitballing your problem and not to throw rocks at your equipment but I did...

    Propex HS2000

    Wow, am I ever getting an education during this exchange! I just took as gospel all of the stuff about the combustion pipe dimension in the Propex manuals, I didn't know there was a Propex muffler (would have thought that it would have messed with the backpressure) didn't know about the high...

    Propane Tanks: Minimum Distance from Furnace/Boiler?

    Copper designed to be used in gas lines is heavier than regular household waterline copper and when proper gas line copper is bent and installed correctly, it will last the life of the project. Because of the thicker walls, It is a little bit harder to work with than it's thinner water line...

    Propex HS2000

    So, Interesting about the short. Was it when you first fired up the stove or was it in the system somewhere else? Is there a possibility that you have accidently compromised or damaged the thermostat wiring(thus the short)? As well and no doubt you knew this, but it was extremely important to...

    Propex HS2000

    As anyone who has installed a Propex furnace knows, the continuity of the "from the factory" predetermined lengths of air intake and exhaust pipe are critical to correct operation. Any deviation from the factory lengths is going to be an issue. In my opinion, once gas line integrity is...

    Propex HS2000

    Sorry, "GoWesty" the Westphalia outfitters in Cal., is what I meant. They seem to be one of the long time US Propex dealers and I have read some of their helpful DIY installer support over the last few years.

    Propex HS2000

    No, touch wood, nothing like you describe with my own heater, same model as yours. I did initially have a code issue with my HWHeater but it was my doing and they (the UK guys) were patient with me and it got sorted. Good luck with yours. Funny, anything I have read about your "Westy" guys...

    Propex HS2000

    Are you talking to the folks in Britain or here in NA? So far, I have been very impressed with the customer service at the manufacturer overseas.
