Propane, that is... On the MC9, I'm planning to locate two upright removable tanks on the rear wall of the front bay on the street side of the coach in the notch formed by the aux fuel tank. Am allowing for expansion with either two 20, 30, or 40lb tanks to be placed and well-supported there. (have no idea of what kind of consumption I will have) Am planning on five 2" holes thru the floor in that area for venting needs, which according to the formula I have should be just greater than adequate for bottom venting with the largest tanks. Help needed with idiot check: I am assuming that requirements for top venting have to do with not having a vacuum in the area so stuff can to escape from the bottom. What I would like do is drill the top holes for venting in the front bay wall, which opens into the AC condenser cavity which is exposed to lots of air. Does anyone see a problem with this, or do the top vents need to be right at the tanks? (I'm sceered to punch holes in the skin!  ) I'll get over it sooner or later. | ||

The condenser comp. Should be OK as it has a vented floorand the door is couvered with expanded metal. I can see nothig wrong with it. | ||

When you figure the size of drain openings be sure to use heavy screening to keep little hungry guests OUT , And be sure to figure the vent area loss from the screening , usually 30% or more. FAST FRED | ||

Thanks fellows. Just want to be sure I keep my 'oops' holes to a minimum. I'll probably go to six 2" holes even tho the 30% was already figured in, thanks to an earlier post you made, FF. |
