At least the only gas I smell is definitely not propane

So, one time when I was a wee lad, I was camping with the family. We had a nice old 23' wilderness trailer, bunks in the back for us kids, a double up front for the parents, furnace right at the head of the bunks, water heater, luxury - things were good in the Canadian Rockies.

So one day Dad was thoroughly enjoying his cheap scotch after a long hard week of work, and we all turn in at nightfall. Now, for safety, dad had installed an electric propane detector near the furnace, for safety you see. Well, this night Dad decided to play a little prank on young Slung Blade, and he ripped a monster fart just as he was walking past my bed.

Now, if you're familiar with genre, scotch farts are a special brand of awful. Cheap scotch is especially bad for this, and the smell was incredible. We groaned, yelled, laughed, twas all good fun. But the cloud spread.

Turns out propane detectors are just as good at detecting heinous farts as they are propane.

Have you written down a list of what the truck needs to be driveable? Not trying to ride your rear end or anything, I was just thinking it might be helpful to have something like a checklist for prioritization/reference. Also might be helpful in figuring out if any parts need to be ordered so you don't end up sitting around waiting for them.

Eh, the list is pretty small at this point.

It's basically:
Wire up the lights
Finish the brakes
Hook up coolant
Fill with fluids
And time permitting, routing the exhaust.

I think they were wondering if it had been started in the past few months or is it possible the fuel system has gummed up.

Must have missed the follow up, I only seem to remember a triumphant late night YouTube video Dave had posted of it running, then the follow up video the next day showing just how kludged it was.

Sounds like there was more after that with the truck running with the van engine, guess I'd missed that. Sorry :shobon:

How many miles a day are you riding? I mean you're burning mega calories and it's probably really good to be getting into shape and all, but I get the impression you're also kind of touring that part of the state in your free time, too.

Also, is cooking meals from ingredients still not really an option? Like, buy some potatoes, maybe, or rice, or some high carb low cost low effort hot food...?
