This is a wise way to do it, and what I would likely do if dry camping. However, my trips are usually pretty long and the extra weight can hurt your pocket in fuel costs. I typically have less than...

I know in every trailer I've had, if the furnace didn't light after trying three attempts, it would just shut off. No fan...nothing. You'd have to turn it off and turn it back on again at the...

Do yourself a favor and go get a new battery. Once the charge gets down that low, especially for a non-deep cycle battery, they're pretty much toast. You'll save yourself some trouble if you go...

I hear ya! Sounds like it's an adventure, nonetheless. One of these days, you'll be able to look back and laugh at the irony of the situation. Hope you get back on the road again soon!

If you're talking about when you initially set up, then that's very common. Almost impossible to prevent, even. The air in your hose has to go somewhere, so it usually goes into your water heater...
