Switchover Propane Valve
I really haven't liked the switchover valve on the new rig since we bought it. A couple of days ago the indicator was stuck half red and half green and since it was about time I switched to the other tank and when I took "empty" tank off it wasn't completely empty so I put it back on and switched it back. The next day the valve looked the same but I'd run the furnace all night so I took the tank off again and it had never taken anymore out of it. We're at Enchanted Trails RV Park in Albuquerque and they have a propane sales and a tech with repair parts etc. in one corner of the park. I took the "empty" tank over to get it filled and when he noticed it wasn't completely empty I mentioned that I didn't understand how the valve could be bad since it was only 2 years old. He took me around to his junk pile and there was at least a 5 gallon bucket full of the exact valve that was installed on my rig. He said that's how many he's replaced already this fall and that they had a wide variety of failures but were basically a junk valve. Mine now resides in his pile.
