I have a 50 lb tank with a roofing torch, which uses a only 20 psi regulator, and a turn knob at the handle to adjust flame. I suspect that the Tripod Torch would require the same amount and type of regulation and flow control. In which case I would think that a straight hose, with no...

I can see this being a poor partner to the Backroads shelter. Whatever space- and cost-saving there could be, it would be eaten up with having to buy a new shelter every night. ;) Intriguing indeed.

One of my favourite musical groups. Not so much when it comes to the anatomy thing.

Thanks. Also narrow enough to use as a seat on wet picnic table. Or a kneeling pad for low car/trailer repairs/maintenance. Double-triple-duty.

I've seen lots of solid teak or heavy rubber mats on Van Life sites etc..., but none that don't take up an inordinate amount of space for what they are. Or they are ridiculously costly. I got four foam kids play mats in a set for $15 I used only one as they are 24" x 24". If you cut it in...

Agree. Just long enough is long enough. I'll join the celebration club. Hopefully there are no more propane deep dives necessary, and we all have some tools in the tool belt to survive non-trailer challenges. Your info above will likely help a few more who are sitting on the fence, or still...

I just did a test after reading above and my Mr Heater hose with the pin intact does work with my Coleman lantern (Coleman BBQ is stashed away, so no testing on that one is possible). But as you suggest, It's probably wise to not rely on just one hose fitting type to work consistently and...

I was reviewing our current road-baking options which include this backpacking oven: Ultralight Outback Oven Review | Trail Recipes ... our Dutch Oven and this handy highly-packable Swedish campfire reflector oven: Reflector Oven Handmade in Sweden which has made some tasty cinnamon buns by...

If it makes you feel any better... the entire east is getting walloped right now. And we will finally get some sort of winter with similar temps to you are expecting. Which is what we should have had a month and half ago. Maybe with these changing weather patterns, all our efforts to the heat...

No reason why it shouldn't. But I assume you mean "CI hose... connected to the MH 1" port" which, I believe, is what Cary is now intending to do. Two options for using the side port of the trailer: 1) replace the missing pin in the CI hose, or 2) modify the MH hose with a QC like I've done...

This is the connection for my Coleman propane lantern: and the MH connection: A quick glance (previously) and I assumed them to be one and the same.

As a recap, these are my successful gas accessory versions: I replaced the CI regulator with an adjustable one, that goes up tp 30 PSI. I have it set at 20. These are my two (working) hose combinations for the side port: They have been modified to adapt to the side port with the Quick...

Single side:

Dual side:

Hmmm... pics not attaching but there is a pin 0.67" long with a mini compression pin that looks like it needs to be depressed in order for gas to pass. Without the opposing "pin" in the hose section to compress it, nothing will get by, I imagine. Will keep trying to attach.

All 3 inputs (the 2 screw-ons and the 1 quick-connect) fuel the entire heater; however, just one fuel source is required for both heating pads. Only the left side pad ignites on “low”.

I think that Sweeney's experience further corroborates the necessity of using a 1-lb hose connection with the pin still intact, at least for these Mr Heater heaters. Other propane-fueled devices may not be as demanding of the presence of this little piece of engineering. Probably best to carry...

Shiny one is just like the one on the right. Identical. The left side is the CI-supplied hose (with the pin removed) that I couldn't get to work on any MH Heater under any circumstances: I highly suspect that if you remove the pin from the inside of any 1-lb connection, the heater will cease...

"The Case of The Missing Pin" Bob had the answer. I wasn't able to test his theory until I got this delivered today: I spun off the tank connection and spun on the QC for the side port: This particular hose has a brass 3-way connection that allowed the QC conversion. Most hoses without...

For picnic tables, fire pits, that tree that escaped all of your pre-setup site reconnaissance and which your partner feels that you are obviously aware of so (s)he doesn't alert you... Yes... and certainly not for driving away from a highway-speed rear end collision. The tube is 0.10" wall...
