Brian - How did you know the regulator was bad? And, can you tell me the make and model of the 5-speed fan you installed?
Thanks.

I couldn't purge the propane system. It would take 10-15 minutes of charging to light a stove burner, then it would quickly die out. A neighbor in the propane business helped me troubleshoot the low pressure side of the system - the flow was so light you couldn't detect it. The tanks were easy to test as I had (2) and both worked fine on my grill. It could yet be a clogged high pressure hose / regulator inlet.....but I decided to check with the dealer and let the warranty take it from there....

Installed the Ultra Fab #4000 electric tongue jack. Only took about 20 minutes to install it and 15 minutes to figure out the reason it wasn't working was because I forgot to put the inline battery fuse in. I was ready to pull the jack off (no pun intended) and send it back.

taviking22, glad to see your post. We just inherited a Weber Q120c/w the stand and I want to retrofit it as well. Please provide any advice about removing the regulator, what parts were involved and where you bought them.

Thanks

Added a rack to hold my fishing poles

I built a rack to hold my fishing poles.

It will hold 8 poles, I used 5' sections of 1 1/2" PVC.

The rack is mounted in the top of the through and through storage under the master bed. I used 1x5 boards and drilled 2" holes, inserted the pipe and secured it with a screw. The fishing poles each have their own tube, preventing tangles and damage, all other items store underneath in the open area. I use a bungee cord to keep the reels/handles up and out of the way.

The two pictures 1) poles inserted 2) view from inside the trailer with the bed compartment lifted up.

We picked ours up from winter storage today! Gave it a quick look over on the inside - no leaks or mice from what I can tell, so that's always a plus! She needs a proper bath, and then we can get to work on dewinterizing and having my husband install all the dodads I've purchased all winter long for it. One month til our first trip out of the season!

first nice day here in upstate NY in a few weeks...since I have been shopping at Big lots, the dollar store, amazon etc i have accumulated alot of things...mostly kitchen stuff...i feel like i got an apartment or something the way i have been shopping lol. my husband is sick today so I grabbed a glass of wine and my 4 year old and we went out with all the things i picked up...she was helpful getting all the twist ties off all the can openers, wine openers, spatulas etc...i cleaned out the plastic tub drawers and we put everything away. I also unrolled the memory foam topper for the bed and cut it to size...it was so relaxing out there, wine in hand chilling with my little girl! i also got some odor absorbing things to open and put them out since it still smells like a camper lol we even saw 2 deer cutting through our woods...not sure if they were mates. i know some males don't have antlers yet...but they were huge and beautiful with the shiny white tails

Jaycojones, it sounds like a great day. I'm hoping that by July we have a warm day here in Michigan.

I have been joking around saying it will be the 4th of July before it ever warms up this year.

On March 31, my 16 yr old son and I picked up our Greyhawk 31FK from storage, we de-winterized, checked the vitals, packed it and headed to Plattekill, NY (we live in NC) on April 1. We camped in Newburgh KOA thru April 3. (Visited friends and toured). We moved to Liberty Harbor and RV Park in NJ...Couple days in NYC (Museum, play, Apple Store, etc...) Great weather! Headed home on April 6, arrived April 7. Father and son 7 days together: PRICELESS!!! :-)
