I would need the T to be placed before the regulator - good to know it can be done by a professional plumber - thank you!

I didn't know where to post this so please feel free to move it to the appropriate spot. Although I'm back in a 8-5 job and living in my s&b, I haven't given up my dream of selling this house, buying a small class c and living on the road. Part of that dream is lampworking (melting glass rods...

I love the beach scene!  The ceiling of my bus was dreary and boring, but has a great skylight.  I took some tig rod, bent it in a semi circle, and threaded a bunch of my lampwork beads on it, the stuck it in the skylight.  PRETTY, especially when the sun shines through it.

You can increase the amount of light they give off by putting them in a foil lined bowl.

I've enjoyed this thread very much and have learned much from it. &nbsp;A couple of things I'd like to throw out there that have worked for me.<br><br>Greet strangers first. &nbsp;Really - it's throws them a bit off and instantly you register as relatively safe, so long as your appearance is...

So happy everyone threw their two cents in - thanks! &nbsp;No caseyc - I didn't notice the weight - that alone is a deal breaker for me. &nbsp;And how vulnerable they are to the wind - I hadn't given that enough consideration either.<br><br>Y'all just saved me some money - thank you! I love this...

I'm pretty conservative financially, have a nest egg for emergencies, a bit in retirement, and some pennies rolling around in a CD.&nbsp;I take extended road trips and have a sticks and bricks home base.<br><br>What I'm finding is life is always more expensive than you expect it to be, I'll...

Good info - thanks!

Does anyone use anything like this instead of an awning? &nbsp;What has been your experience in ease of set-up and break down for one person? &nbsp;Windy (beach) conditions - better to weight or stake? &nbsp;Anything else you can...

I haven't tried that Zil. &nbsp;Something to think about though ... thanks

I have a generator for my primary source of electricity. &nbsp;That said, I have this&nbsp;http://www.sears.com/diehard-platinum-portable-power-1150-with-jumpstarter-air/p-02871988000P and have used it more times than I thought I would. &nbsp;I've jump started my bus battery a couple of times...

Bolivar Beach TX (ferry ride to Galveston). &nbsp;$10 annual beach parking permit and I'm camped less than 50' from the Gulf. Lots of introspection and reflection on this trip - I planned it with the 3rd anniversary of my husband's death in mind. &nbsp;The soothing sounds of the surf, long walks...

Long term efficiency and costs were not my first consideration. &nbsp;Minimal outlay of upfront cash was. &nbsp;On hand I owned one of the larger, taller dorm fridges and a Honda generator so I'm using those. &nbsp;I don't live in my bus, but take extended road trips in it (2-6...

What fun experiences you'll have, and the memories will be cherished by you both!
