This may be of interest to some. On my GMC which was a transmode
finished by Coachman, they used a propane tank put out by Brunner
Engineering And Manuf. of Bedford, Indiana. On these tanks they
installed what they called the" TRIPLE-L 80% AUTOMATIC STOP FILL VALVE".
I'm not sure why they called it TRIPLE but the tank does have two means
of preventing over filling. It has the usuall manual 80% little valve,
and as well has an automatic 80% stop fill valve which cuts off the gas
if one does not do it manually. At that time this was beyond code
requirements, but was UL listed.
Now I can feel a little smug and have another reason why I like my
Royale by Coachman!
I sure do watch anyone who is going to lay a hand on my coach
however.Once because I didn't get there fast enough, a young fellow bent
and just about tore off my propane door. I was really annoyed. (It is
the small square one up front by the side door). Even with filling the
gas tanks, in Oregon, where it is the law for the attendant to do the
filling , I tell them it is real tricky to fill and so they let me do
it.
And while I'm beefing about quality of service, my latest complaint was
after having a tire puncture repaired I later noticed the fellow had
replaced my very nice quality Alcoa chromed valve cap with a used
plastic one which had a split in the top of it. Luckily it was a local
place and I went back again and got a good one later
Well I feel better now and gotta go out side and do some stump pulling-
a maple tree--big job!.
