Subject:leaking propane,unrelated Rialta question
From:Douglas Prescott

Greetings, fellow listees:
If you are celebrating the long Labor Day weekend, I hope you're able to
do some camping!
My problem (well, ONE of my problems):
When propane is turned on at the tank we smell it leaking.  This smell is
far more noticeable outside, and I believe it is not within the walls of
the van.  This is not a problem when using the stove, so I'm thinking
pressure regulator. Just a guess, as I don't really know what the
regulator does.  But it does provoke a new thought: Could this somehow be
related to the fact that I've never been able to light the stove?  I'm
thinking that the regulator may be allowing too much pressure to enter the
van.  Not a problem when at the stove, but blows out any spark I may
produce when attempting to light the refrigerator.  Make sense?  If so, is
this something I can replace myself? (I consider myself a competent,
though inexperienced mech)

My sister and her partner saw a Rialta conversion and now hope to one day
own one.  Anyone know where to go to learn more about them?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
