    Propane tank location

    It looks good and think it would work ,but i know they would not fill it in Ontario Canada . they have to read the last date of inspection that is stamped into the tank or on a welded tab . We go ten years between inspections . On up to 30 lb tanks we just recycle them and buy a new one . tanks...

    Off Road Camp Trailer Build

    Well i would point out that steel is sold by the pound and that is the main driving force behind a manufactured unit . lighter does have its benefits i agree ,but we all have seen lots of manufactured trailers that the metal has cracked around the weld . The OP will never have to be worried...

    Propane tank location

    also on my van i notice this is the only compartment that is not lockable. I am thinking the tank has to be accessible in the event of a fire . Maybe you should check Propane and fire codes.

    Propane tank location

    On my tank there is a little valve they throw before filling ..when full this valve blows off and release gas,think this is how they know it's full . this would need to be accessible . also there is a tag on the tank they need to read before they fill .

    A Discussion of Differing Points of View: Is Jeep Leasing an Intelligent Choice or a Dumb One ??

    Two-Wheel Drive Ford Ranger's New $595 Off-Road Pkg Is Touted as a “Hell of a Deal”

    Having owned diesel pickups . they are absolutely useless in the snow in 2 wd ,but put them in 4wd and you can't stop them as long as you are on hard ground . Most of the weight is on the front end . I wonder if the Ranger 2wd has more front wheel weight then back , maybe that's why ford did not...

    your storage bag solution looks rely useful , thinking when i final get around to good organization like this i would use labels or a tag to show whats in there . what if you just load the saw in with the sprocket or oilier port turned to the top . with it being electric you don't have to be...
