Ya... the tube is a 10ft pvc pipe cut down to about 8.5’. Painted it black to match the rails on the platform...
The L brackets on the platform/tube actually had another hole in it which made it perfect for the hardware to attach the conduit. Finished it up the other day, but it was getting dark.
I can take some close- ups of the connections if anyone’s interested. Just need to set it up with better lighting?.... like next to a campfire:) might have to wait until after the new yr for that camping trip. Thanks for the interest guys.
I didn't get a pic of it, but I saw a gas station in Oklahoma (I think? Or maybe it was Missouri) that already has an E15 option, lol.
Here's a pic of my MPG from the trip up north & back. Note that the mileage is corrected because I'm running 215/65R16 tires, GPS shows that the dash is off by 5.9%; total trip just under 2135 miles.
