Anyone?
After having completed a series of measurements on my Dometic which I
posted a couple of days ago, I want to see how it performs under the
similar conditions using LPG instead of 120V.
The refrigerator is not in the Westy and it's on the bench. I'd like to
get some parts so I can connect it to one of those small disposable
bottles of propane, but I'm not a LPG expert, so I don't know what to
get, nor where to get it all.
I reckon I need an inexpensive 11 wc inch regulator that screws onto the
bottle, then a 4-foot (or so) length of hose with proper fittings to run
from the regulator to the threaded fitting on the reefer. I know how to
TFE connectors and look for leaks, and all the testing will be done
outdoors, so I'm not expecting trouble except from Mrs Squirrel who
tends to wonder when I'm going to blow the place up.
Places like www.campingworld.com seem to have a variety of brass LPG
fittings and adapters, jus' help this poor squirrel select the correct
parts for this little project.
