    ATF: MPG - Can I leave Propane Tank Open?

    I rarely use my propane tanks on my 2011 MPG. Is it ok to leave the knob on top of the bottle open? Or do I need to close the knob every time I'm done with it? If i leave the knob open, the gas will stay in the line and be stopped at the stove, right?

    I need to replace my anode rod in the hot water heater for my 2011 MPG. Is there a big box store where I can buy it?

Does anyone know why there's a price difference and why rpod's are still going strong yet MPG's are dead?

    MGP more Aerodynamic than others?

    Heartland states that the curved (egg-shape) of the MPG allows it to be more aerodynamic than traditional TT's. From what I've read, it seems like peope without diesels avg about 10-12 mpg towing the MPG. That seems about what everyone gets. So does the egg shape really give us an advantage? The...
