We would like to have the hose set up permanently with a quick release attachment but to do that we would have to put a hole in Sherman and we aren't sure we really are ready for that.<br /><br />We will have to look at getting the device needed to order to refill those little bottles because they are handy to have.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-52495163245839546972016-02-03T23:41:10.040-05:002016-02-03T23:41:10.040-05:00I used that hose adaptor ( and still have it store...I used that hose adaptor ( and still have it stored somewhere )for my Mr. Heater(s) when I first got them but didn't like it for a couple of reasons. The main reason being that it restricted 'where' I could place the Mr. Heater as the hose is only 12' long.<br /><br />That's when I started re-filling the canisters thereby cutting down the cost of those canisters substantially - and not throwing them in the garbage after only one use. <br /><br />I can get 18 canister re-fills out of one 20 lb. bbq size propane tank. By doing this I can place the heater anywhere I need it to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82764473779939227652015-02-02T23:44:30.295-05:002015-02-02T23:44:30.295-05:00So far we are very happy with the Mr. Heater.

As hard as it is to believe, vibration can and will cause the fitting to loosen and cause a leak. When I put mine in, I didn't think that I'd need a support bracket and didn't put one in. It did loosen up and cause a leak, thankfully we smelled it before it caused a disaster. I built a support bracket out of a U clamp and some rubber. Since it was installed, the fittings have remained tight, even so I check them regularly.Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-4404236105441873472015-02-01T13:57:59.682-05:002015-02-01T13:57:59.682-05:00Be careful with the awning replacement and count t...Be careful with the awning replacement and count the number of turns to get the proper tension.
