Just for reference, such an animal can't exist. Unlike compressed gasses (scuba, welding) where the pressure falls constantly during use, propane in the tank is a liquid that vaporizes at just below 110psi (@70deg). When you open the valve, the gas escapes, the pressure drops, more liquid propane evaporates, and so on. This continues until the tank is empty. It also means that the non-liquid space (gaseous propane) in the tank stays at approximately 110psi until ALL the liquid is used up, which is just minutes away from flame out.
No, but they do make fiberglass ones where you can see the level. Not cheap, but an option I'm considering. However, I own 5 steel ones and that makes this a real expensive endeavor.

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

We needed more storage space so I installed a cabinet where the TV used to set and put a wall mount on the side for the new flat screen.

Nice work, aside from some minor color difference, it looks like it was original equipment.

Maybe it's just the flash camera that makes it look a different color

Excellent mod, archie18! I've been trying to decide what to do with that same space in my little 17 footer, and you gave me the perfect idea. Thanks! How'd you get it to stay? Anchors and glue?

my toys wrote:Thanks for looking at my mods. I had alot of fun doing them. The medicine cabinet I got at lowes. I just screwed it in and used double sided tape. It isn't going anywhere.
I've a newbie question. How long were the screws? I'd like to add some towel racks in the bathroom on my Starcraft Antiqua 195CK, but since it's an outside wall, I'm a bit hesitant since I don't know how thick the wall is.
Thanks for any advice.

merlisk. Your wall is about 1 1/2 inch thick. i would recomend you use 1 inch wall plug to secure it but first open up a compartment door and make sure how thick the wall is.
