I have just had my propane checked out on my (new to me) '81 Westy, and all
is well. Fridge and stove work fine. In fact the fridge fired up perfectly
the first time I (correctly) followed the instructions. (We won't talk about
NOT following the instructions) :)

Also, took the van to our local VW expert, and we fired up the Eberspacher
gas heater. Again, fired up first time, cycled nicely, etc. I'm told I'm
VERY lucky to have that happen, as there can be many complications, and they
can be impossible to fix. Now, I actually  have HOT air coming from my
defrost vents. That's nice. :) And, we will have heat when camping besides
the portable propane heater we have.

So, we are getting ready to go camping starting this weekend and lasting
until the middle of next week. We'll cross the border into WA, putter south,
probably over to Whidby Island, and perhaps onto the Olympic Peninsula.

Our inaugural Westy trip. Wish us well and good weather.

Take care,
Phil
