Yeah I have no idea what you are describing here.

We've got the same grill as yours, I found it a lot more simple to buy the adapter hose and connect it to a 20# LP tank that we carry in the truck. I've never trusted these other things.
A lot of people use them, but they appear to be just another source of leaks in the trailer LP system...
For whatever it's worth.

Finally got the battery box rebuilt and new Trojan 6 volts installed. It was a frustrating exercise in one nick picking problem after another. Click image for larger version

Mostly blew up...but Wylie was a moron!

I used that brand and vendor only as a pictorial. I think mine is a Camco...but probably made by Acme anyway. Shop around for best price...I don't remember paying that much.

We just received some cool hand-painted glasses for Rocinante's 2-person crewe.

Coffee mugs for the morning, stemless wine glasses for whenever it's 5:00 somewhere.













Leslie Hand Painted Glass ~ Retail - We've seen their work in some retail locations in OR, such as Made in Oregon stores and at craft festivals like Salmon Days, in Issaquah, WA. They also take custom orders, which is how we got ours.

Mine is also Camco picked up at Camping World on sale a couple of years ago. Identical to the one shown. I use with 10 ft of hose.

Got a new valve stem for the Moen shower fixture. The old one was tuff to get out. The Queen said she was tired of taking cold showers and was not going camping again until I fixed it.

New tires! The old ones were 5 years old in June. Upon inspection getting ready to take a short trip I discovered one separated belt.
Off to the tire store. Inspection there found one more failing.
So 2 by warranty and 2 purchased.

Washing equipment

I'm a big fan of Griot's Garage Products. So here's what I use to wash my 2015 Classic, my truck and wife's car.

Griot's Wash & Wax - does a great job
Griot's Foaming Sprayer - pour the Wash & Wax in and it lays down a foam soap that speeds washing Foaming Sprayer - Cleaning Tools - Car Washing - Car Care - Griot's Garage

I use Griot's Micro Fibre washing mit and also the mit on the telescoping pole.

The best thing that I have bought is a de-ionized water unit from CRSpotless. Talked to a friend that is into concours car competitions (scored a 99 on a Ferrari at Pebble Beach a few years ago). Swears by these units and now I do to. I use it to mix in my wash bucket and foamer. Then rinse and simply let the AS or truck/car dry. It will be spotless and I don't need to use anything for drying. Simply amazing. For time saved it's a bargain. Do a youtube search and you can see some testimonials.

Total time to wash the Classic today was 40 mins. I did not do the roof or tires. I do those once a month and usually do a regular wash after a trip. The time included getting setup, pull stuff out of the garage and put it back. Quick and easy and more time to camp

Thumbs up Griot's A+

....use nothing but Griot's on all the "stuff"

Haven't found anything better, the microfiber offerings are first rate.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up! My confusion arose from Switz bringing mentioning that adaptor... and he has a 2015 Classic, which I would assume does have the AS gas-take-off feature. But perhaps he was referring to another coach that doesn't have that feature. Now I understand that this feature would be of use by those who don't have the "take-off" on their coach.

Post #3044 was the device I was trying to describe. CanAm also had a 25' hose that would attach to the valve in question and then to the Weber grill in the same manner that a stand alone 20# propane tank would connect.

This system allows for a non-truck tow vehicle to carry a gas grill inside and use the trailer propane. One just has the aroma or previously cooked steaks to contend with while driving down the road instead of a propane leak to blow the doors off the tow vehicle....

Make sure the Weber works off the A frame connection. The canister bottle have a higher gas pressure then the connection has.
