Subject:Re: Propane guage on 84 Westy?
Date:Tue, 22 Jul 1997 07:55:26 CDT

Hi John, I just spent roughly two weeks on the go on less than one tankful
of propane. The fridge ran approx. 20 hrs. a day on propane and 4 hrs. on
12 volt. On average I used the burners for 1 to 2 meals a day.
Still haven't filled it up and it even made ice cubes for evening
libations.
Hope that helps....Harry (85 Westy)

The Campmobile owners guide that I got from the previous
owner does not have any mention of how to tell how much propane
you have left.  I don't see anything that looks like a guage
anywhere near the tank.  Is there some way to tell how much
you have or do you just stop at a propane station every so often
and have them fill it up.

A related question.  Assuming that the temperature is in the
70-80 range,  how many days can you run the refrig on a tank
of propane.  I know there are lots of variables, but just a
ball park number is fine ( < 2 days, about a week, ...)
