I like the dual propane set-up. I have wanted to do that but do not seem to use enough gas to justify. Charlie, do you have it for convenience, comfort off knowing you will never (hopefully!!) run out, or do you use quite a bit of propane? Just curious. Bike rack looks nice as well.

Bike rack looks nice as well. | The dual propane goes with my two batteries, all LED lighting, 35 gallon waste tanks, portable 6.5 gallon fresh water carrier, and 15 gallon "blue tank" waste carrier. All for extended boondocking or other non-hookup sites. So far I haven't used all that stuff, but we plan on lots of Colorado camping at National Parks and Forests. The propane is for heating and fridge without electric hookups and the fridge while driving. Dual batteries are for non electric sites and we carry a lot of electronics. No A/C or micro supported. Larger waste and fresh water capabilities are for longer stays without sewer hookups to eliminate breaking down camp to drive to the dump station. I'll probably never use all this capability, but that's the engineer in me!

Charlie, I thought you have a tongue-mounted spare tire, too. But, my memory is not what it used to be.

| You're absolutely right, Bob. Good memory. The spare was banished back to the rear bumper due to interference with the bikes. You just can't get it all on the tongue. Soon I'll need a second trailer just for all the junque I'm carrying. Well, that's what pickups are for .
