You can get a copper line and adapter, then go with hose. They even make quick connects. I think I gave my 3 burner that had a hose and quick connect to the guy that refrubs old travel trailers. I look and see if I have it and will post a pic if I do.

Thanks! Picture would be a big help.

Do you know if they make some sort of gasket I can use to fill in hole through botton for hose. I will have to drill a one inch hole for the heater buddy hose as well as the stove hose.

Floor

Ok I got busy, but I still have the 3burner. I'll get at it tomorrow.
For the floor I'd do one hole, and a deck plate or some sort of port with door/lid. If it's in an area that doesn't need to be flush, I'd use a wire inlet. I think I even bought one to do mine, just haven't done it. Yeah I'm slow.

Perfect! Thanks! I will look for that. I am not going to do a quick connect for heater buddy and just try and use the hose I have to save money as I am starting to get tapped out. I found a spot that works perfect where I can mount plus also pull out to move around if needed. The hose can be hidden in a bottom shelf.

Just need to find right fittings and hose for the stove and I can get er done!

Thanks again!

Do you know what this thing is called? Can not find anything like it. Still looking for fittings from stove to hose. May have to go to ace....


Thanks again!

MrBo, Howdy;

You'd be better served by going to one of your local Propane dealers. Take both
ends and the pieces you are attempting to join into a working unit to them and
allow them to set you up. These are supposed to be the "Pros" let do their 'thing'.
The fittings they have available are not normally available to ACE and other corner
hardware stores.

It can be called many things.
Look for RV power cord access port, hatch, or power cord door.
For fittings my local hardware would have more selection than a propane dealer- oh wait! They got propane too[emoji16].

If I can even find A propane store.. Most have gone out ...


Thanks! That worked for searching.

Just in case anyone else might be looking.

That sounded like Hank Hill talking 'bout propane and propane accessories. Strickland Propane and Thatherton Fuel are only still operating in Texas I believe.

Nice Job and thanks for the videos.

I think the pump may be so loud because you have mounted it to the wall and it is "resonating". From the video, it sounds almost like the Aluminum skin is picking it up and amplifying? That is really loud and guess it is not that loud when not attached to the wall. You might try mounting it on the floor and make sure to use some good vibration isolators... something that does not resonate with the pump?

My pump has the vibration isolators built in to the feet (I think most do), but they need to be horizontal and the screws should not clamp them down so as to compress them. When they are mounted vertical and/or tightened to compress.. the vibration isolator may not perform as intended and transmit the vibration and possibly resonate depending on the particular area.

Thanks.. Was thinking of throwing a piece of foam behind it. Would be hard for me to get it on the floor at this point. Will keep it in mind.

Thanks!

Almost there. Finally got the stove figured out. Everything is ready for clear coating the inside again. Some layout design ideas

Here is the latest ...

Also was at wally world and saw this. Looks like it would be good in a tear or small cargo. Not sure how well it works ... but what caught my attention is it will run on AC or DC. $39.95 It is a small evap cooler.

That brings back some memories, Mr. Bo. When I was growing up in the high desert and mountains of N.M. all we ever had was swamp coolers and they worked really well. We even had one that you would roll up in the window of the truck and the wind powered the squirrel cage and there was a tank you would fill in the a.m.. You just need to remember to leave a window or vent open at the opposite end of the house/room etc. to let the warm moist air out.
Do you remember when we had water bags hanging on the side mirror or in front of the radiator of the truck? That water was amazingly cold in 100f temps. I still have one that was never used, it just hung in the barn for 50+ yrs. One of my most prized possessions. It is proudly displayed on the bathroom door of the CTC.

We had a swap cooler in Phoenix. I preferred it over the a.c.. Master cool. It worked great. Of course these work better in the west us then east. Thanks for sharing!
