Doesn't exactly make a strong case for truckers being responsible citizens. :D

That's known as a "well, duh!" moment.

In-ground fuel tanks are basically a big Thermos bottle, so whatever temperature the delivery point is, that's pretty much what you're gonna get out of the ground. Even in extreme weather the temperature of the fuel out of the delivery truck isn't much different than what it was at the refinery...

I agree. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using propane. It's an excellent, proven method of heating. There are pros and cons to every heating method. After weighing all the pros and cons of each, I simply settled on the Espar, and I haven't seen anything to change my mind.

"Cheaper" and "cost effective" aren't necessarily the same thing. In the case of a heater, cost effective means taking into considerations things like, you're not supposed to operate the propane heater while the heater is unattended, or while you are sleeping, you're supposed to disconnect the...

I can't find anywhere in my paragraph where I said anything like that at all. Sooooo, no.

not too long after I got mine, when I installed the Air Tabs, I ended up using degreaser to wash the van. They Air Tabs instructions said no grease or oil, so I made sure of that. When I was finished I used a liquid clay bar and then Turtle Wax Ice wax and polish to finish it off. Apparently...

Two winters ago The Weather Channel started naming winter storms as a marketing gimmick. The National Weather Service and NOAA are not pleased. They're not pleased because it's stupid.

Every bit of that can be traced back directly to the invention of, ironically enough, The Pill (May 9, 1960, the day my brother was born). Availability of the pill had an impact on various aspects of social life, including women's health, fertility trends, laws and policies, religion...

Of course, I was referring to this thread, but you're right, there is somebody out there somewhere who refuses to recognize the dangers of drugs. There always are. There are even people who refuse to believe heroin or meth is dangerous. On the other side of the coin, they're just as bad as...

Nobody has done that.

That's not what he's saying at all. What he's saying is, if you're smart, then you'll figure out the best way to use your money efficiently, to get the most for your money. A lot of people go for the quick, easy and expedient of a propane heater, without ever bothering to do a cost analysis of...

Sixty percent of all cigarettes sold in New York are smuggled in, mostly from Virginia where they have a 30 cent per pack state tax. The New York State cigarette tax is $4.25 a pack in comparison. In New York City, they add an additional $1.50 per pack in top of that,m making the price of...

Someone noted that the Espar heater is expensive. And it is, if you just look at the price of the unit installed. If, however, you do a cost analysis over several years, it becomes quite cheap. It is hands down the most cost effective way to heat a van, Sprinter, or Sprinter wannabe. Some...

There is, at least a statistical correlation, between increase in crime and the increase in laws making things illegal.

First, you've taken the position that smoking pot causes brain damage, and you've now used the same extreme example of abuse three different times as the basis for your argument. In the history of studies there has been but a single study that shows brain damage with heavy use, and that's the...

Decades? Try centuries. These are not new issues.

If you only want to get home a couple of times a year, then Californee is the place you oughta be. There is freight in and out of there, but most of the stuff that picks up there will run you up and down the coast. I've been out there and bounced back and forth between LA and San Francisco for...

A YES/NO answer to that question would be an irresponsible answer. For the vast majority of people, the answer would be NO. For a very small number of people, under certain circumstances, the answer would be YES.
