Finally got my fridge running on propane!! Should there be any smell at all
inside the van when it's running? Anyone had this problem?

As it runs I get this smell. It's not propane, it doesn't smell like exhaust
(but I've never used propane-powered things before, so who knows), it
doesn't smell like the stove does when it's running, it doesn't smell like
smoke. It smells like, well . . . musty. That's the best I can do. Like dust
bunnies burning. Now I suspect this fridge has never been lit in it's 16
years, and when I pulled the fridge I didn't vacumn or clean out the tubes
with anything. Could I just be burning up cobwebs? The inside of the
combustion chamber was clean, so I can't imagine there is that much in the
exhaust tube. Or could it be dirt in the insulation surrounding the exhaust
tube?

I gave the exhaust tube a quick look-over when it was out and didn't see any
holes or corrosion of any kind. As far as I can tell, the tube is installed
out the side of the van correctly. I can't imagine what would suck exhaust
fumes back in the van from the outside. I may pull the vent flue and re-seal
around the exhaust pipe outlet and the hole in the side of the van to make
sure.

I just want to make sure I'm not asphyxiating myself, any advice
appreciated, other than pulling the fridge again! I'm out of time . . .
