Since outside temperature may make a difference in the reading...has anyone tried it on a travel trailer that the tanks don't automatically switch ??

I have not tried it on a travel trailer but here in MI the day's and nights are getting colder, and we still use it on the grill. I would slip it inside the trailer while it is going down the road then pop it back on when u get to your destination.

The ambient temperature on mine appears to be accurate. It does short cycle like others have mentioned.

I have used to to check trailer wiring with a separate battery and it works fine with that. The tip can also act as a current source or sink so all your testing will be backwards. You could not just switch terminals for positive and negative that would mess with the electronics of the unit. I would email the customer support people at power probe for their opinion. All the operations would be "backwards" for you as would all voltage readings.

Yes, it displays water temp if the sensor is installed on the transom, hull temp if you install it in shoot-thru configuration.

I am no expert on these but have bought and installed a couple of them for myself. This is actually a regulator/tank switch set that is made for an installation with 2 tanks, and will switch automatically to the full tank when the selected one is used up (if both tanks have their top valves opened). If you only have one tank, you need a simpler (and cheaper) regulator setup (travel trailers usually have 2 tanks). You can probably use it, but do not need the switching capabilities with only one tank. Hope this helps......

I am using two units on my RV, one for the coach batteries and another for the chassis batteries. The RV is outside and our temps got down to +14 deg F last week. There does not seem to be any problem with them operating at least down to that temp.

I use mine in a finished barn that has electronic equipment, and I turn it on only when the outdoor temperature is below around 25. It will bring the temp up to about 30 when the outdoor temp is about 10. So it does what I want, but it won't do the whole job. I have propane for that. Hope this helps

it sounds as if your trailer is not tight. if you are only using this unit to heat a small area rather than the whole trailer, it should work quite nicely. I use mine in a room that has no heat whatsoever and it does the job for me.

It seems to depend upon whether you are using the outdoor sensor or not. Because the unit is usually in a furnace room, it will naturally read slightly differently than in an open space.

Heated my 36 foot trailer in November in northern Ontario. I always runv30lb tanks but I cant see why a 20 wont work. Ed

No question is silly. It has a built in thermometer that keeps the water temperature at 78 degrees. So make sure you have a thermometer in the tank, if you see the temperature of your water is too low that'll tell you it's not working. If the temperature stays at around 78 and above it's working.

I have not a clue, if the arm is long enough to go to the bottom of the tank,it might. But the thing you have to know is,whats the ohms on the gauge,if it's the same as the sender,you'll get an accurate fuel reading, if it isn't, you won't. Massey probably still has those available,bite the bullet and pay the price,you run out of fuel in the middle of 500 acres and it's a long walk back home,besides having to prime the engine.

I've noticed that if the water gets to low the temp won,t stay put. Also unhooked the propane tank thinking it was empty, screwed it back it and the temp shot up. Maybe an air lock of some kind. Hope this helps. We really like it.

Since we have owned it the temps have varied from 100 to -19... Worked perectly still on my first set of batteries also.

I think it will not work because it will switch ON the load (heater) when its temp reading is too low; you want something that will switch on the load (cooler) when the temp reading is too high.

Sorry to say, I have not seen a shift in the readings due to temperature. The unit is hand held, so if it has a temperature sensor that is part of the unit, it is buried in the body of the unit. Suggest you contact the OEM about this question. Sorry again, but all I am worried about is- is the wood dry enough to start working. In my case, the moisture just needs to be low... not mid or high.

No! This is a switching valve only! For the use of two fuel tank system. It doesn't have any effect on gauge, the tank sending unit controls the gauge readings. Gauge or sending unit needs more testing.
