Throw some popcorn in there, and OPEC is out of business... Or are they already out of business? Seems I haven't heard that term in twenty years or so... May be showing my age now.

Would the 'methane madness' be contained inside Airsteam then soap the outside of the Airstream... then light off the 'bubbles' from the 'leaks'?

Finding more uses for the abundant supply of methane. Good job! Leak detection, BBQ grill, power you TV... It's the incredible amount of useful information like this that makes this forum so helpful!

NEVER underestimate the power of a bloomin' onion, my family does NOT.

According to the Professor and the Way-Back Machine, Ol' Ben Franklin supposedly said:

"Common sense isn't so common any more"

Heard a 21st Century update today:

"Common sense isn't a gift, it's punishment for putting up with those that have none."

Ol' Ben would probably agree.

Yessireeee! I make deep dark IPAs thru "girly beer" which is Gluten free for my wife.

Our son and future Daughter-in-Law put the following on their wedding invitations...:
"Join us for the reception, .....(etc).... And home brew by our Dads.."

Already have. It's a question of perspective, mainly. It's not a question of what the trailer is capable of doing behind the right tow vehicle. That's what has a few in knots.

If a person doesn't go over 50, and slower on the hills, your combination with your older Dodge Cummins, maybe... Nothing made today will regularly get 20 Mpg towing a trailer like yours.

I tow at the speed limits and get about nine MPG, but I have no guilt about this. Not even a little...
