My only concern with the 12-volt option is putting an additional load on the converter and potentially reducing the amount of juice going to the house battery. So I would have the cooler plugged into...

EXTREMELY dangerous situation

I agree absolutely with all who said to turn off the propane before fueling. The one thing I would add is that propane operates at a very low pressure and there is active propane in the pipes (still...

Septic cleanouts

All home septic systems "should" have cleanouts, but that doesn't mean they actually do. I plumbed our current house myself and three have cleanouts past the end of each run. But one of my runs goes...

I actually have checked with Michelin on this and the response was:
- it was no problem (for tires) to run with the 65 pounds inflation

At Home Dump Station

I've been doing the same here with our septic system. Works fine - just one thing to consider -- you actually can overwhelm your septic tank if dumping the entire contents of a big RV. No problems...

Alternative

This isn't what you asked, so if it doesn't apply please ignore it.

Hitch mount spare

I would recommend a hitch mount, and you won't have to worry about the door supporting it. Also, REI (and others) sells a swing-away that fits in your hitch mount and has its own hitch mount. Install...
