OK...I'll avoid involving more government over-reach, but you will want to read this change in regulation on RV Propane Tanks. It's going to cost you...(and me):

After we had our Redwood about a year, we tried to have our propane tanks filled. We had no problems until that time.

Went to a new place to have the tanks filled. They would not fill them because they said the tanks had a 12 year old certification. We were on the road, no where near a dealer. We had to go to Camping World and buy a new tank so we could move forward. Both Redwood and the Dealer acknowledged the tanks were old and out of date. Redwood said it was the dealer that put the tanks in. The dealer said we must have changed out the tanks to the old ones. 🙁

Finally, I went into the dealer and basically didn't leave until they reimbursed for the tank.

We learned then about the 10 year certification. Some propane companies don't look at the dates, some look closely.

Greg,
It actually has been a pretty warm Colorado winter so far. A few snowy days, but came and went pretty quickly. We have changed our route and are going through Kansas instead. This will allow some family visits.

Looking forward to seeing you guys at the rally.
