Good report! These are expensive addi hobbies we have.....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

I realize that you most likely know all of this but I think the key to safety is having the tank well tethered in a dedicated locker (airtight to the interior living space if the locker is within that space) with access from the top (assuming standard vertical tank). Ensure the recommended...

Are you are concerned about any lift while driving if air is able to go under the panel on the leading edge? The airflow would be great for cooling but not so good if it is applying any type of upward force against the bottom of the panel. Filling in the front area of the panel/roof junction...

It is a 8 ft slide in camper, so pretty small. There seems to be lots of smaller lights around that will work for a reading light in the cab over sleeping area, such as the one below, 30 buck $CDN on Amazon. Searching, I am finding quite a few possibilities that will work for the cabin area...

Good points all, driveby. As we are "Getting up there" age wise, we don't sit around for hours in the camper after the sun goes down..... As long as these elusive lights are good quality and have a decent duration of light per charge, I am prepared to go all in with just the stand alone...

I have kicked the piggy bank pretty hard for this project so I have a decent budget. I would like to move beyond both the sterling quality of the usual RV stuff:cautious: and the typical plethora of Amazon offerings, all mostly identical but with different branding. I am interested in a...

I am considering taking a run at one last build before they drag me off... Every time I do one, it seems that the systems, componentry and general attitudes (as well as our own personal needs and ideas) have changed so much, that I basically have to restart the entire process of evaluation of...

There is clearly a marketing/business opportunity here. Just use pre-scratched or scratch images within the actual graphic on the wrap. Win, win. If you use the idea, please send me a hundred, fifty, 25, ten, how about 5 bucks...

Having spent a lot of my career in front of a 'hood, my personal choice these days would be to err to the side of the absolute very best of everything, especially in terms of ventilation and cleanup, portable or otherwise, full stop! I shudder to image reading the current MSDSs of some of the...

Have you considered buying a product from a company that makes truck based professional labs already designed specifically for use in the type of terrain you will be using yours in? I have a personal bias towards companies whose products have a proven track record in a day to day industrial...
