Corvus

I remember her, "Hoochie choochie" - we spent time in Chattahoochee, FL, dodging hurricane Debbie Milton and the younger crowd kept repeating that phrase.

Great, good to hear you were able to get it going. You shouldn't need to use the stove unless you turn off, or disconnect, the propane tanks for long periods. What I think happens is when the pressure is off then air is able to diffuse into the system and that has to be purged out. The fastest way to do this is through the stove, or maybe the rear external propane quick connection if installed. Anyhow I'm not a RV propane expert so this could be wrong. Hope your first night goes smooth.

My experience is sometimes it can take a while for the propane to get to the furnace. Especially after not being used for a while. Try igniting the stove to make sure the propane has made its way that far then continue on to get the furnace to ignite. There are other potential issues but this is a good starting point.

I've resorted to using a bathroom scale by taring my weight then lifting tanks to check their weight and several other valid methods. I prefer Mopeka for the convenience, but it's nice, and probably safer, to understand options. Having a way to measure the weight could come in handy in some situations, like boon docking or hurricane dodging.

There was one in Savannah Ga, for a while, recently I was trying to find them to get some work done. I was wondering why they no longer showed up.

The red light seems to be as good as amber to reduce insects attracted to white light, like moths. We keep only the interior red lights on to transition in and out of the camper to minimize the number of moths slipping through. But mosquitoes are more complex with studies showing they may be attracted to longer wavelengths like red (warmer) more than shorter wavelengths like blue (cooler) or even white. Light is not a primary attractant like carbon dioxide and body temperature so the color around us may not make a big difference. My experience is that I see plenty of mosquitoes when using red or amber lighting. So I don't rely on lighting to help with the mosquitoes.

Thanks, I have not read the book, I'll look into though. I chose corvus for the species of birds that I admire and encountered often in my travels. I had a 12" dob for a few months, it was just too big for me to enjoy transporting routinely, plus my brain does not tolerate spikes very well. The courtesy lights I used have been discontinued.

I changed the interior courtesy lights to red for the same reason plus it helps preserve night vision for night sky observing. For the exterior lights I covered them with a dark amber film. One day I want to add the dimmer to the interior white lights too.

Just checked ours and the aerator and switch section can be unscrewed from the hose but the restriction looks small.

Empire is the brand on our 2019. The label is near the base on the right. It's very light so it was difficult to see until I removed it.

Ideally you would connect the manometer in place of the device, in this case the Truma. If that is not practical then try where the gas line Tees off from the main line. If you have the front and rear quick attach propane ports I would also try to get a reading there for a base line. Another thought is to check where the propane is fed into the Truma to mix with oxygen if it is not completely sealed. There are insects that can get into small spaces and build their nest out of dirt, clay, ash, etc. like a Dirt Dobber only much smaller. They got into my refrigerator propane mixing chamber and restricted the flow enough that it would not burn clean. It was obvious from the soot around the chamber that it was not getting enough oxygen so that might be another sign to look for. Although I have a Truma I'm not very familiar with them so I'm just spit balling from my experience with other propane devices. Good luck with getting it figured out and working again.

We've left ours for nearly a year after only a few uses. So long as it is not near capacity and the fan is running without extreme humidity conditions it will dry out to be more adsorbent material for later use. Since we are in Florida we run a large dehumidifier which helps a lot. Never noticed a foul odor having done this many times. If near half capacity or the crank is tough to turn, then probably best to empty if not going to use it for a while.

I replaced my courtesy lights with some I found on Amz, but it look like they have been discontinued. Hopefully you can find a similar product. This was the title: "Partsam 2pcs 3" Clear/Red LED Oblong Courtesy Light Yacht Marine Boat Stair Accent Deck Garden Usage Waterproof" An alternative is a film. I used a film to change my outside lights to amber. Much easier on the eyes and doesn't attract insects like the stock white. I tried two other brands before finding a company that makes a good product. They also make a red film which I also have in case I want to go red outside. It might work for the courtesy lights also.
