Thanks, yeah I like your approach to try it out and change as you go.
I am afraid if I do too much now it may be inadequate or a waste of time/money if it has to be redone.
I do have a few ideas and another reason I am so glad I was pointed to this site. So many have shared their ideas and visions and makes it easier to take that and build with a tad more confidence, kinda like having a blueprint. The other thing is time, I am slow and my family is noticing my absence on some quality days where I am working on trailer stuff. So with kids at home still...need to balance it all out.
torry's,
I am way behind with posting to my build page. Vacation coming up is more important than reducing all the pics to get them on here. I did get my propane mounted like yours. I also installed a crossmember under the tanks for strength. After I got it all done I did not like the excess movement from front to back. It seem unsteady for my taste. I took a piece of angle aluminum and drilled a hole in one end that would slip over the center tank secure anchor all-thread. I attached a bracket to the wall stud where it would be a couple of inches below the bracket. Then I slid the angle aluminum over the all thread and attached it to the bracket that is attached to the wall stud. It minimized the movement and it does not interfer with changing the tanks out. I will post pics in a couple of week when we get back. A picture better describes what I did.
Hmm... you might have heard of Harley widows, the wives that don't ever see their husband because they are always out riding. Well mine has been a CT widow for the past year. I don't know, she might actually have enjoyed the peace and quiet of not having me in the house on the weekends.
We are way into the empty nest and enjoying every minute. You could tell the Mrs. that the more work you get done on the CT the faster you'll get done so "the whole family" can enjoy it. Stress the family thing really hard. You might throw in how much the kids will like getting out and enjoying camping in it. Wives are suckers for things like that.
Or you could turn it into a family project!! Of course if she catches on to your scheme you could end up in the dog house. Look at it this way, this could give you more time to work on the CT!!
Any way you go it could be a win win in the name of CT build progress. I now throw in my disclaimer on the possible divorce outcome and years of child support which could lead to having to live out of the same CT for the next 18+ years.
Keep up the good work and the ideas flowing!!
Earnest
Hope yours does the same.
