Quote from: Ron Hill on May 26, 2024, 02:48:15 PMGuys : The best way to treat your holding than is NO PAPER in to the head/holding tank!!!

I talked to the Japsco reps and they agree!! 

We put all used toilet tissue/paper in a zip lock bag and dispose of it with the garbage!!

A few thoughts

I get the science, but I would never get any guests on board if I asked them to pack in and pack out toilet paper!  :D

Forget the guests, I never would never get my wife on board. 😜

My propane stove was pretty worn out.  I found a good CNG stove and moved all my orifices and oven temp regulator from the LPG stove to the CNG stove so I had a nice condition propane stove.

You can repaint the tanks however, check the manufacturing date stamp on the tank. They are only allowed to fill them if the tank is less than 12-years old.

Jerry : I was able to get a 10lb bottle in that OEM propane bottle Box even after I had the overflow mod added.  Also you can modify the inside of that lid incase it is too tall.

As Mentioned, I'd wire brush off the rust and spray paint the old bottle.

Cliff : You only need to replace the "orifice fittings" on the burners and the oven!!

i can vent the propane out the stern. Does this mean that the stove and oven has to be entirely replaced because of the burners?
