Review on πŸ“ˆ Efficiently Monitor Propane Tank Levels with AP Products 024-1001 Gas Level Indicator by Sam Bhushan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really very handy for my motorhome

I have been driving a motorhome since 2015 but this year I went on a serious winter hike for the first time. I had absolutely nothing to measure my propane tanks and that lack of planning bit my ass with teenage lows in nice weather. I ran out, it was night and no one was open and I ended up freezing the fresh tank outlet resulting in no water coming. I have heaters inside so I was fine but obviously I had to do something else. I ended up swapping the propane for 2 of 3 20lb tanks (not a good idea as swappers don't currently fill them to 20lb due to prices) and let my stove defrost the basement. A friend recommended this system to me. I looked at the readings from the sensor, but it has Bluetooth and you can read the readings on your smartphone from the comfort of your bed. Bought 3 tank kit. They now come with aluminum washers, which is good enough for my needs. Setup is very quick and easy. I love the peace of mind of knowing what level my tank is at. I've already had to fill 2 bottles to power the stove which of course sucks propane like nothing. Filled up at Tractor Supply and the monitors were at 100% until another (hopefully last) cold snap brought the stove back on. A lot of propane is required. I've been very happy with my investment so far and now feel very comfortable being able to check the level whenever I know I'm using propane.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • unreliable
