If the gauge freezes the regulator workings are also frozen with water, which expands and cracks the brass housing.

Once I replaced the gauge, it worked fine and no leaks.

Try to be political, aggressive or just mean and you won't be seen again unless you mend your ways. Thanks to the ever diligent  moderators. 

Depending on the FB page administrator(s), the same can be true there.

Do you have enough propane?  Are the propane lines clear?  Since both issues "seem" to be propane related, that is where I would start.

IMO, Facebook sucks for conversations/threads.  Take this thread for example...in FB, it would get pushed down for every new conversation that starts.  Finding info is not great in a FB forum.

Any issues with leaks in the roof from the solar panel mounting bolts?

Any issues with roof cleaning or maintenance since the solar panels block easy visual roof inspection?

BTW, the WHO appears to be changing it's tune on lockdowns a little bit.

Where are you parked here in albq.?

Kirtland AFB FamCamp

I am also in Albu.  Everywhere I go I see people wearing face coverings as required.  Social distancing happens, but can be difficult in some stores.

I'd love to see the stats on what age group is increasing in NM and info on contact tracing.  

We have plans to move to Farmington this weekend.  If that is prohibited, we'll stay where we are before moving to AZ.

As for "unnecessary travel", different people have different thoughts on what is unnecessary. 

Time will tell.

 By the way, during this time I was looking for a lot of poisons, baits for rats, but I found here the most uncommon ones http://www.bugszapper.com/3-best-rat-trap-options-which-will-suit-your-needs/. The article there is very useful, you can check it. I decided to choose a special mousetrap trap. Each glue rat trap comes with bait thus, you do not have to handle all that mess and toxicity. By the way, I didn't know that rats love peanut butter. I will definitely try, because I didn't even look at the poisons. I'm afraid for my dog, who loves to eat everything. Btw, my cat also likes eating something tasty, so this bait can help me.

The Victor traps with the plastic activator are better than similar traps with the metal activator.  A little peanut butter on the center of the plastic gives a place for the rodent to put their feet on the sides of the plastic.  In my experience, they work much better than the metal ones.  As for the glue boards, I was most successful using them along side a trap.  The drawback with the glue boards is you have to kill the rodent yourself, vice the trap snapping it's neck.  But, I did have one packrat the trap did NOT kill (despite the bar coming down behind it's head) and stuck to the glue board.  Regardless, he wasn't getting away and luckily he was a loner.  Killed a total of 11 mice and 1 packrat in 2 weeks, then after 3 days of no activity, thoroughly cleaned out the basement with a bleach solution.  BTW, a wireless camera with infrared is great for seeing rodent activity in the dark.

remoandiris, if you have an electric landing gear on your rig, what sort of remote did you use?

I have Lippert hydraulic Level Up and a Lippert remote.

But the OP says they do have a camera.

 

I missed that.

Not everyone has a rearview camera.

I painted a white line on the center of my kingpin to make lining it up with the hitch jaws easier.  Thankfully I have a wireless remote for my landing gear that works from the driver's seat.  

I use my rearview to get the jaws close, make sure the kingpin is close to centered and at the correct height, then back in.  

Since fulltiming for 18 months, I have found our monthly costs are virtually the same as when we lived in a S&B, minus the house-specific costs.  

One time I told my wife that if we needed to save money, we would stop eating out so much.  That is a large, and easily controllable expense.  We eat out (usually lunch) about 5 times a week.  

Guess we've been lucky.  No algae in the hoses we've used for 3+ years.  If we did, I'd just replace.  Last hose I bought was due to the prior one kinking every time it was rolled up.

If the engine you're considering it for is routinely used and brought up to normal operating temps, there is little cause to need any additive. 

Is the hose being stored for periods of time?  If not, there may be something wrong with the water source.  Many times municipal water has chlorine and other chemicals added at the water plant to kill bacteria, etc.

I'm not clear what to do if the regulator shows red.

That is the problem with a color-coded gauge...it is non-specific.  The specifications on the Amazon link you provided says it is set to 40 - 50 psi at the factory.  

Since you're there for only 1 night, I'd just deal with the low pressure you adjusted to and see what happens at the next park.  Or, you could contact the office and ask if they know how high the park's water pressure is.  If it is 70 psi, your regulator is telling you it's high, but appears to be handled. 

It is after Labor Day.  While not every school district is open, a lot are so kids are back in school.  Parents are starting back to work, too.  Those are 2 reasons RV parks are less busy.  2 months ago I wonder if you could have found a spot in Jetty Park.

IIRC, they are going to combine the two into an online version.  Glad I didn't renew Trailer Life.

Not new and nothing to do with DeJoy.  Apparently the individual postmaster can do what they want with respect to general delivery forms and time.

And if we add another 200,000 deaths by end of year (current estimate) it will be close to overtaking cancer deaths.

Not quite.  Cancer is almost 600,000 per year, but I think your point is some people are making decisions without thinking of the consequences.  And that appears to be true.

Oh my regulator is not settable its just one setting screw into hydrant then attach hose perhaps I should look into one that I can set like you have thanks for the idea

GtG

Consider one like this.  Adjustable with a screw driver and you can see what the pressure is.  DO NOT let it freeze or you'll have to replace the the gauge.  Don't ask me how I know.  Twice.

 The latest death statistics; Total U.S.A. population as of 8/3/20 = 330,052,960, total deaths from COVID-19 as of 8/29/20 = 172,884. If my math is correct, that is  0.052% of the USA population is attributed to dying from COVID-19.

Making it the #3 cause of death in the US, according to the CDC.

Depends on the rig.  Some claim to have plumbing that can handle 110 psi.  I have my pressure regulator set at 70 psi.  It is infrequent I find a park higher than 50 psi.  

And I ALWAYS use the regulator, whether I need to or not.  Just part of my set up routine.
