Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I moved this from an old topic because it came up in a relevant Google search I was doing for propane tank gauges. I agree with most views that using the automatic switching manifold system for my dual tank system is the most reliable way to see gas needs. However the manufacturers of my Keystone TT in their "infinite wisdom" decided to tightly cover the 2 tanks.
Here is my switching manifold which Keystone hides behind this front panel with 4 of these hold-on nuts
So my question to all the innovative people out there; How can I make is easier to check my manifold indicator without going through the harangue of removing the hold nuts & panel?
I know I could just remove the panel for the winter but besides it looking ugly, the tank hold would fill with snow & ice. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I have an extension hose to a 100 pounder & 4 - 30s as backup. Still trying to find a way to view the manifold gauge w/out dealing with the panel shown above. I suppose I could build a wheeled plywood nose cone with a plexiglass window to keep an eye on the manifold green/red indicator.
