12v sucks. It is the worst of the 3 settings.  120v is the best for obvious
reasons.
The propane setting is excellent, if it is lit.  I must have lit mine 20
times before I saw the exact way to do it.

Hello all,

wow such quick responses are great.

Here's where I am at now:

I've got the van plug into 120 and I switched to the appropriate settings
for the fridge but the LED is not coming on.  I've got a radio plugged into
the AC outlet and that works so I know power is getting to the van.  The
sun will be setting soon so I will try to light the fridge again in a
while.  Are there any tests I can do to make sure the fridge actually works
at all?  When we first got our Westy we tried to run the fridge off the
battery while we were driving.  The battery indicator went from green to
yellow when we switched on the fridge.  I took that to mean that the fridge
was drawing power.

Thoughts?

thanks again

Todd Evans
