Somehow, the thread on my refrigerator has converted so that I cannot reply
to all, and I thought this significant enough that several responders
should get it, so maybe this will work.

Several asked me about the refrigerator working an 110 V A.C.  I tested it
again overnight last night.  At 8 pm both the ambient temperature, and the
temperature inside the refrigerator were at 82 F.  This morning, at 6,
ambient temperature was at 57 F.  A 10, ambient was up to 65 F.  The van
was inside my closed shop all night.  At 10, with ambient at 65 F, the
refrigerator fins were frosted over, and the thermometer in the bottom of
the refrigerator read -1 C (30 F).

I am going to leave it on today.  The high temperature forecast is for 80 F.

Looks like the problem I have is with propane, and likely as Robert
diagnosed.

I will see what I can do about getting the gas line from the refrigerator
valve to the burner box replicated, but in copper.  Several bends, odd
fittings.
