I listed this reply in another section but I think it belongs here too. Personally, I'd feel much more comfortable cutting the bottom of the storage space in the motorhome to accommodate the BBQ tank than modifying the tanks to be able to refill them. I have a 1989 Dolphin. When I got it the propane tank was missing and a new tank was more than I wanted to spend. I modified the compartment so that a BBQ type tank would fit standing upright. Does anyone know why the manufacturers don't just use these tanks.

I had the same problem with fitting shocks. I went with Toyota's OEM shocks. I'm glad I did. The front rides very well over bumps. The heavy duty rear shocks rattle my teeth. I'm thinking taking out the new rear shocks and installing OEM there too.

The trouble with the older converter/charger is that it tends to over charge batteries. Newer chargers sense how charged the batteries are and adjust their output accordingly. I ripped the battery charge circuit out of my converter and replaced it with a newer version charger. (About $30.00 on eBay) Before that I used to disconnect the battery whenever the RV was plugged in. I have the schematic for the MagneTek model 6300 series converter and would be happy to post it someplace for anyone who wants it. I guess I should add a declaimer here... Screwing around with and/or making modifications the electrical part(s) of anything is not for the inexperienced. Obviously, I cannot control and cannot be responsible for any damages that result from something someone does.
