Text item:
Hi John,
I'm afraid I don't know a lot more than I told in the previous posts
which is from my personal experience. I do know that if anything you
shouldn't be running the thing off your battery. On a full (I think
full- ~2lbs?) tank of propane I get about two weeks of continuous use
out of my fridge. And that's boiling water twice a day in addition to
the fridge. Once in the am for coffee and at night for dinner. Normal
gas grill tanks are 5 lbs. Think about how many barbeques you get
outta one of those puppies.
Whoever told you not to use the propane has robbed you of one of the
mose useful features of the westy.
I'm wondering if anybody else is experiencing numbers about like this.
Anybody else wanna chime in?

it would be a tush tuck)

A person who knows propane refrigerators! When I bought my 84 Westie, I was
told not to bother running the refrig on propane because the tank is too
small, that it doesn't hold enough to do the refrig and use the stove. Can
you give me some info on how long the propane supply lasts, etc.
