If you never take your AGM down below 50% they will last a VERY long time. My AGM sump pump backup battery is ten years old and still perfect performance. The AGM in my 2007 motorcycle is the original battery. Still going strong! And the two group 31 in my travel trailer are going on 6 years and...
Didn't have room in the overland trailer for a 20# tank, and don't need that much propane on three day trips. Bought a "miniMe" 5# tank from Manchester Tanks. Needed a bracket to mount on the outside of the trailer.
Dug out the TIG welder this morning and had my way with some...
Got the TIG welder out this morning and welded up an aluminum bracket for my "MiniMe" 5# propane tank. Hadn't touched the TIG welder in years. But like riding a bike, it all came back to me.

Man, you have ambition and huge optimism! Those old camper specials are still revered in the truck camper world. Looks like a fun project. Keep us updated!
Did you need to get those 30 year old tanks recertified? I thought they had to be replaced or recertified at 10 years?
