    I just purchased a 2025 Ozark 2300RB that comes with a single propane tank. I bought a double mount kit from Flame King but discovered that my tank sits inside a raised "steel box," so the new mounting plate doesn't sit flush on the trailer frame. Someone told me that a welder could easily fix...

    Getting a Full Refill: Proper Bleed Valve Use for ASME Propane Tanks

    I would like to reopen this discussion. The bleed screw open vs closed while filling? If its only to vent displaced air, then what causes the tank fill to stop long before the notional 80% capacity? Seems to me that this happens because the combination of the liquid plus the gas pressure is...

    Couple questions on my Thor ACE. Hopefully right forum? Bunk ladders and Propane

    RE: Bunk Ladder My 2015 Thor Ace has a 61 1/4" high bunk which I guess is high for an RV bunk. 95% of the ladders on sale on Amazon are 60-something inches. It occurs to me I need at least a 72" ladder accounting for the angle but I can only find a few and they are CRAZY expensive (like $140...

    I am a fairly new owner of a 2023 Montana 311RD 5th wheel. With the colder weather we have been using the furnace quite a bit.
