Good idea.

I like to browse in shops that are totally unrelated to the sort of work I do as it's common to see a gadget or material you would never have thought of using, or in some cases didn't even know existed, but it's just right for something else.

One example is the recliner chairs we had in the truck, found them in a Baby's Galore shop, now I have nothing to do with babies and in general could think of nothing worse than hanging around such a shop, but they had special rocking chairs for nursing mums that were just perfect.

Sorry to hear the sad news. You had mentioned earlier that there might be a possible larger tandem trailer build. That still in the thoughts?

Best part is with the AT shower setup, I remove the spray and it screws right into the water port on the ecotemp. Now I need to mount my propane tank and build a swing arm from inside the camper to hold the water heater.

Update!!!!! Since i got the ecotemp Ive been needing to mount a propane tank. Had my tank from the bbq out back I dont use anymore soo I wanted to keep it. I did not want to use a generic holder or spend a fortune on one. I read somewhere that somebody used a 8" pipe as a base. I stopped by a pipe place and they let me go through their left over and BAM!!!! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1398284016.684348.jpg
I drilled holes around the ring that matched the generic propane tank and then welded nuts too it. Slapped it on the rear fender and welded it on.
