Propane tank sensors that use sonar to gauge the level of propane in the tanks. Syncs with a smart phone.

Very cool!!!

Price seems reasonable.

If you have a smartphone you just need the sensors and the app...

A GMRS license from the FCC and a pair of GMRS radios. Motorola doesn't make these particular GMRS radios anymore, but they are what we wanted. They have support for GMRS repeaters, NOAA weather, and have longer range than standard FRS radios. If you buy this radio, make sure you get the North American version (e.g. MSR350R), not the Latin American version (e.g. MSR350MR). Some sleazy 3rd party seller on Amazon sold us the LatAm version, but Amazon took it back, refunded our money, and is having a little "chat" with that particular seller, ha ha. (The LatAm version of the radio is missing NOAA weather and support for GMRS repeaters.) Anyway, here's the radio we bought: https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en...ut-ms350r.html

Brand new owner here, so spent some cash on a generator (Champion duel fuel) and a WD hitch (Blue Ox Bwx1000). Hope the the cash hemorrhage slows down a bit. But it sure is fun to get set up.

This is the cat's meow. Very powerful and so handy the wife even takes it out of the Airstream and uses it for small jobs at home.

We store it beneath the lounge in a drawstring bag.

Watched about half of that video and quit. Painful.


The sensors measure propane levels by percentage, inches, or centimeters. The can be adjusted for different size tanks. You can name your tank (Elmer and Lucy).

The feet are worthless. I epoxied furniture feet to the stand so the tanks sit on the feet. All is good.

Mopeka is in talks with Airstream. These will probably come with future trailers.

One of my pet peeves is cooking in my Airstream. I have found the solution. Next week I will share something widely used in the rest of the world, even in Canada.

Finally the company is coming to America. Usually we are the innovators. This time we are the last ones to get on board. All Clad has recently introduced a knockoff. But when it comes to electronics I find them to be clueless.

The product is great. I want to join here as a supporting member so I can post pictures.
