Subject:Re: LPG Pressure, furnace and fridge observations, Was: Propex heater

Thanks for the US pressure spec. Since the Truma's that were offered with
European market
T2 and T3 campers are 50mBar, one might guess that German LPG system
pressure is
50mBar, while apparenlty US models are 27mBar from Loren's post. This could
explain
could explain the difficulties I'm having running a US spec fridge with a
German spec furnace.

B.t.w. In the Truma heater the orfice does not look exchangeable.

I didn't measure. I just eyeballed, but turning the variable regulator until
the stove flame
was as big as I'm used to in other campers.
