We currently have the internal float gauge that works great but they aren't in stores anymore.  They were also only on 20 lb tanks and not 30 lb tanks.

Don't waste your money on a screw-on gauge.  It either has pressure or it doesn't.  There is no way to know if it's 1/2 or 3/4 full because it's the same pressure.

JUNK!

They are usually only $25 or so, so even it doesn't resolve it, they do decay and now you know what it can't be.

Don't like a match.

Is there something I can pump through the lines like testing a car exhaust?

Absolutely going to do this. Thx

How do I check or set up my trailer battery to charge from the TV alternator. Be nice to keep cooling while we are on the road.

Cheers
Adam

Both the camper and the TV will be dead. Don't ask how i know.

Better than $130 for a new shroud. And it's fixed and back on. Oh, and the powder is available in white/clear.

It should work the same.

What about RapidFix? It has a similar liquid/powder system. It is available locally (auto parts store).

I've seen it in both hardware and auto parts stores.
