Re: [VACList] Condensation



Terry,

Were you able to compare the low pressure hose that connects the 
regulator to the hard lines under the coach you would note that the 
original hose that Airstream uses is roughly 3 times the diameter of 
others. It should also have a dip in it not unlike a P trap. Over the years 
this has been done because while on caravan's to the wilds of the world 
there was no telling when your propane would come with extra scent oil 
or other contaminants. The large hose would allow gas to pass through 
the junk. The clue was if a stove burner started to sputter you needed to 
drain the stuff out of that low pressure hose.
At least that's the story I heard.
