Our pod is in for a V nose job. I stripped the tongue totally, put down the base than it snowed and got cold last night -15*, all is on hold.

Just as a note.. if you have it stripped, have you heard of, or used POR-15? That stuff is the bomb. We used it on Agnes (the Airstream) and it has held up fantastically.

You could go with a single, 40 pound horizontal bottle.. around here they can be found pretty cheap, and are usually aluminum to boot.. You may need to change out the valving, depends on the prior application.. here it's usually from a fork lift.

No I want to stay with the 2 twenty# bottles, I use one as a spare and use it for my propane heater in the R-dome. I will also take out the AC and put in a sky lite, we have never used it in over 3 years, I am more concerned with heating than cooling, I do live north of the 49th.
