Had enough of the original Electrolux rm184, no matter how much I work on it, on gas it will not cool tried everything!! So will a dometic 123 fit and work In terms of wiring it must be similar, what about the weary gas pressure I can't find any info on it!

Westy 'Gas Pressure Regulator' is 50mbar compared to the UK standard of either a 29 or 37 mbar.
The higher pressure may cause issues with a UK fitment fridge which may require re-jetting or a second regulator fitting to further reduce pressure.

Sorry for the typo westy!!!! Looking at various articles on this people are saying that 50mb will still be fine on a uk spec fridge, they all say they have no problems?

I must admit that the Cadac I use off the BBQ take off point works fine on the higher pressure however I have no experience of whether the same would apply to a fridge.

Most fridges require 30mb and as the Westy tank is 50mb you will need a regulator.
Gunzle sell them or Ebay.
I am not too sure what would happen if you didn't use the regulator but assume that the higher pressure would blow out the flame? Maybe?
