As a follow-up to our recent video on wintering in an RV, we found that connecting our rig to a large external propane tank was a little bit more involved than we expected. If youre planning to spend the winter in a cold climate, or simply want to avoid running out of propane while parked in one place for an extended period, we offer some useful information based on our recent experience. Were using our Extend-a-Stay (also known as a Stay-a-While or an Extend-a-Flow) to connect to a large external propane tank. Theres a fair amount to know about propane, and we are certainly not experts. But we do know more about it today than we did yesterday! "Inch water column" (also referred to as " WC or "inches of water") is a unit of pressure measurement, commonly used for propane and other gases. RV appliances require about 11" WC, which equals only about 0.4 PSI! Weve been RV snowbirds for 8 winters in a row, mostly in the Desert Southwest. This year, for the very first time, well be spending the winter in the RV in a northern location. Granted, the Lower Mainland of British Columbia isnt exactly Manitoba when it comes to winter, but were far enough up in the mountains to get some freezing temperatures and snow here. Luckily, Birgit & Greg, whose site were using, were nice enough to let us tap into their super-size external propane tank (well be paying for the propane we use, of course). There are lots of RVers who know way more than we do about RVing in REAL winter deep <b>…<b>

Let’s face the facts, we have all been in a natural disaster where generators are almost always used or backpacking where generators are a staple. You observe folks outside filling them with gas, then here comes the loud as well as obnoxious roar from the older generators we remember so well. Well, I have great news! The newer portable generators are altered so that disturbance seriously is not a problem any longer. They are rather quiet, and therefore serve their particular purpose just like a genuine champion! Residing close to the gulf of Mexico I know all too well the importance of being prepared for almost any urgent situation situation that may manifest in just a few a couple of days notice.

It is a lovely summer day you have all of your supplies, your instructions, tools, ready to build your perfect shed. However, one thing stands in your way you happen to be too far from a power source. Sure you could head to the store and perhaps buy a long line of electrical cords twisting, knotting, wrapping around you and your materials, or make use of your head and get something that will serve an excellent function for countless years ahead. In the event you invest in a portable inverter generator, you can move it anywhere and have electricity at your beckoned call. Not only will it help you at this moment while building your shed, but if ever there have been an emergency blackout you would be well prepared. Perhaps you intend to go camping in a remote location a true getaway from it all, yet you still enjoy your espresso’s. No need in doing without your wants, needs while roughing it, just come well prepared using your portable inverter generator!
