Warren, we used the same RM182A on propane that we have been using for
these trips since I Camperized the Syncro in 1994. Next year I expect we
will be using an electric fridge but we will see.

On night 9, as I was drifting off to sleep I was startled to alertness
by the CLUNK of the propane safety valve shutting off. The Dometic would
not re-light, nor would the stove. Propane tank empty. I did not top it
off before leaving like I normally would and should have. I moved
everything from it to the ice chest and in the morning we headed to
Santa Rosalia for LP gas and ice. Fresh fruits and veggies too, along
with tortillas and baked goods. The LP fill was 50 pesos, under $5.
