We do a bunch of camping away from any hook-ups. We did put in a 13 cu ft apartment size fridge last summer. We do need the RV fridge that will run on LP.

That connection is fine........I even lit a match to double check......................




I did find a leak at the regulator....two 30# bottles connect up to this regulator that has a valve to switch from one tank to the other. It also has a little green/red indicator. I pulled one of the bottles...empty. The valve is set to the fuller tank. All should be fine................now it started to leak gas from the pigtail not connected to a bottle. Not supposed to do that. Just came home with a new regulator assy. A local Gas joint wanted $39 for the same thing. Bought it. Then I ended up at an RV join for something else.....$89 for the same thing.......


Everyone......Thank You for the nice comments.............

I have two Fridges.......

An electric apartment size one that we purchased last summer. It is bolted down in Theresa's bedroom.

The RV Fridge...Gas or 120vac died last summer. I just replaced it.

Been down that road, the auto change over switch failed and I had to replace it in my rig. Seems like all the stuff fails on a regular basis in these things.
