Congrats!  You're going to have lots of fun.

Once you get it started, it is easier to rip the carpet from its' underside.  The mesh is much easier to cut than the carpet pile on the top.

I have a conversion van, too, that I ripped the carpet out of.  You can buy a tool just for that for a few bucks at any HD or other building store.  It is like a utilty knife but it has a hook on one end.  Having tried the utility knife first, I know the carpet ripper works much better.  It will...

I am well acquainted with Murphy, LOL.

That's my plan now, too.  Thanks.

More good to know stuff.  Since I already bought the adapter, I think I will try it out, refilling outside and using on my stove outside.

I bought an adapter from Amazon, very inexpensively.  Thanks for the upside down tip.  How many times have you been able to fill your one pounders before they leak or go bad?

LeeRevellKeep direct sunlight off it, it sould be alright.  Mine is kept covered under a cabinet. Will do.  Thanks

So if I am comfortable in the van, the tank probably will be too?

Vertical it is.  Like in a milk crate.

Thanks, but they don't seem to sell the smaller sizes locally and online descriptions don't say.  Hence my question.  Good to know I can't overfill it if I buy a new tank.  Although after reading about propane tank safety, I think I will buy the 5lb, even if I have to buy 2 of them.

Very good to know.  Do you know how hot is "hot"?

Thanks everyone for the information. Judging from what y'all (I am from Texas) are saying, I think I can handle a 10 lb. tank just fine.  So that's what I will order.  Thanks again.

What a great idea to run the hose out the window. I know my back won't handle a 20 lb. cylinder, tho.

Thanks for the information.  BTW, I always enjoy reading about your adventures and looking at your great photos.

VanTramp, thanks for the explanations.  And by the way, I do enjoy reading about your adventures. Almost There - Great idea to put the hose out the window to cook.  I am pretty sure I can't heft the 20 lb. tank up into the van, but I think I can manage the 11 lb tank, briefly.  So that's the...

So sad for all of you.  Sorry to hear it.  You are lucky to have such a good vet.

How much does a 5lb. or 11lb. propane tank weigh when filled?  Does it weigh 5 or 11lbs only or does it weigh 5 or 11lbs. plus the weight of the tank?  I need to know so I can be sure to get a tank I can easily carry inside and out of the van. It seems to me this may be a silly question, but oh...

I am so sorry this is happening to you. You deserve so much better than this.  You are always helping others, including me, and there is no way to help you back.  Except that you know we are rooting for you.  Later, you may be glad that it is not worse, but not now.  And that is OK.

Where do you get it?
