Towing a Ford Focus on mostly state and county roads, we normally average 9.4 to 9.8 MPG. When we are forced to run Interstates, we rarely exceed 55 MPH.
Driving Interstates gets you past the country. Driving state and county roads gets you in the country.

I'd be concerned the small diameter of the chair legs would go through the fiberglass sheet.

Google Alligator V2B Valve Caps
Available from a few places, this is an article.

I've been using these for 10 years and have yet to have a failure. Just enough extension to allow easy filling and pressure checks.

Aimee',
Suggestion:
Please go to the 2910 (#2) and correct the description of the unit, which incorrectly refers to the 3100 single slide but correctly links to 2910T triple slide in the photo.
Again, just a suggestion.

General Discussion / Re: Tank monitor not working correctly

« on: December 26, 2014, 10:20:06 pm »

Not ever having had this issue but applying some logic and assumptions;
1 .. there cannot be penetrations for gage sensors in the tank.
2 .. a sensor can be placed external to the tank.
3 .. generally, a sensor will be downstream of the shut-off valve.
Question 1: did you shut off the Propane valve when winterizing?
Question 2: will the gage read level with the valve open?

I thought Aimee's original post "We will have two categories, pre-2012 and 2012-2015." was pretty easy to understand (but color me simple).

Hi Dave.
The Dealer I go to is Wayne County Ford in Honesdale, PA (NEPA). They have a number of lifts and an alignment pit that will handle a 2552. Not sure about anything longer tho'.
Great people to use and fair prices.

I only rotate the front tires at the normal 5K mile service interval, which my Dealer includes gratis.
We are an exclusively Ford family and have bought only from my Dealer over the last 15 years. Consequently, they've assigned me a specific mechanic, who serves my needs perfectly.
It's good to be well known and liked by your Dealer & Service Writers.

Double check the tightness after every tire rotation.

I've had leak problems on a few of the rigs I've owned, from 16" to 22.5" sizes. On every single one, it was the connection to the valve stem that was loose or loosened. Use a wrench and tighten them a half-turn more than just hand-tight (there must be adequate pressure on the seal of the connection to get proper compression and prevent loosening of the connection). Since I learned that I've had no leaks.
Bet you a dollar that'll work for you.

So does mine. But that doesn't seem to be a change from the day we bought it.

Tips and Tricks / Re: Rear view monitor position

« on: November 24, 2014, 12:14:04 am »

My rear-view monitor is where the rear-view mirror would normally be and I have a stand-alone GPS for direction and destination. I believe a rear-view mirror to be useless and precludes space for meaningful information.
