Well… the filter would only be for long term use and doesn’t affect psi either before or after it. Its not necessary for proper lighting and operation. Lots of bleeding of the CI accessory hose. I even connected the screw-on at the heater with the tank barely cracked and slight + pressure...

Seth: You can try to replicate, but… that’s what started this whole adventure. It didn’t work for me (Buddy+ CI Accessory Hose+CI side port QD= Pilot LightExtinguishment after 15 seconds. Ostensibly because it’s double-regulated at the tank and at the swivel bottle connection. Good luck.

Cary: That's what I have on order. However, I think I'll be going with the Big Buddy, and Big Buddy regulated hose, keeping their female QD end, spinning off the regulator and spinning on a male QD with a female thread. Seems the simplest to go into the CI's side. Karen won't argue about the...

... but you don't say how you make the connections, with what and to what. We're dealing with 2 or 3 very different appliances X2 very different possible LP sources, exacerbated by imperfect information from the manufacture about a plethora of poorly-described accessories for all of them. By my...

By the way... this all assumes that you're not just performing Seth's simple tank-switch workaround scenario that he described above, and that you have a deep down desire to make this process as complicated and expensive as possible.

Cary: I would say that, yes, that's a little digging. Certainly much more than I was able to discern from any manuals and vids. Thanks. I think we have this sorted out. I'll add a little bit to your explanation. It has to do with the significantly different design of the Little Buddy/ Buddy and...

Just as a caution to those who may be actively (or thought of) re-filling the green ones: STOP! Never refill 1 lb. propane bottles | PHMSA. The refillable Flame King ones are undoubtedly manufactured to a higher standard than the DOT 39's and can withstand the filling-emptying-refilling...

Sweeney: That Amazon link is what I could get, but is illegal in Ontario and possibly the rest of Canada. i.e. you can manage to buy it and possess it. But the act of actually filling it is prohibited by industrial/consumer law(s). And if you mess up in the process, it could prohibit you from...

You'd have to do a little digging to see if this comparable:3M Primer 94 Tape Adhesion Promoter DI-NOC Vinyl Wrap 1/2 Pint (8 fl oz, 236mL) | eBay I somehow doubt it. But you're right... not a lot of U.S. sources; it seems to be all in Canada despite being made in the U.S.. Usually the supply...

That’s a scenario-workaround I never considered. I was thinking of trying to run the stove and heater simultaneously. Which, as you describe, isn’t absolutely necessary. The CI stove itself will be warming the space as well. However, and not as a consequence, I’ve already ordered a tank...

Seth: Agree on all points. If a 5-pounder were in the cards, despite its storage issues, then why not just a tank-top radiant and no hoses? Giving Buddy a Lobotomy (removing its regulator, if its even possible ) makes it unusable elsewhere without a dedicated regulated hose. This is not even...

I may have found my answer: Because both the CI tank and the appliance are regulated, the appliance is now is over-regulated, if using the side quick-connect and CI's hose. Nothing will fix this other than a direct connection to a separate unregulated tank. Which is what Mr Heater recommended in...

Has anyone had trouble running a Buddy heater directly off the side LP quick-connect using CI's LP Accessory Hose? My pilot light goes out after 15 seconds and it won't come back on, no longer how long I hold down the control knob. I'm not using Mr Heater's recommended proprietary...

L&K: Speaking from in-experience, I would imagine that it goes up pretty quickly, and can be adjusted in (back) height, or moved to the CI's side door (or even the TV hatch) just as easily. How you secure it to the trailer (whether by the straps provided (to the fenders or wheel rims) or by...

Another reason to "Go West". I got hit with N.Y. tax. But we are splitting hairs here. Even if we could find anything comparable in quality and function, it would likely cost twice as much.

My free shipping of the Backroads ended up being $148 total, and after the coupon code that they have right on the product page. Not sure how Seth squeezed an extra $10 out of them unless he has a better membership than I do. Maybe being a Left Coaster they get preferential treatment.

In another post I posited that I may try a baked-on high-temp ceramic coating to attempt to avert the unsightly rust that routinely forms on the CI stovetop pot supports, and add a bit of "zing" to the galley. To do so, and try a couple different paint options and methods, and to "upgrade" the...

Glad it helped. Unfortunately I saw the vid after I ordered. Not that it would have changed my mind. I'm not sure about my video posting skills, but I could do a good photo-essay on it and how it works with the CI, when it gets here. Unless you beat me to it. I'm gonna feel really bad if it...

Almost all postings or marketing is aimed at hatchbacks and truck caps. However, these might give people a better, but very brief, concept of what a Backroads would look like attached to the galley of a TD: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NXOvnXqIHGE This Little Guy put the poles at the front...

I'm only quoting a single article, and couldn't find the actual specs on Kelty's website. I'm hopeful that the fit is tight for the sidewalls, and overall not terribly prone to the Mary Poppins Effect. Also hoping that closing the hatch won't make too much of a difference in that regard. I...
