Hi Guys,

I think my fridge is a 2 way (Gas and 12v DC) fridge:



(sorry I am not in country to check)

It ran fine when driving but obviously not when stopped and would like it to run when hooked up to 240v.

I am in the process of planning my electric setup, leisure battery wiring etc so wondered what is the best way to achieve this? Some form of converter from 240v to DC?

Cheers

Post a pic of the fridge front control panel.
Autosleeper used three way fridges RM212 iirc


My fridge runs best on gas..
Is there a problem with the fridge on gas?

Really? My Autosleeper Trooper does not have a 240v hookup so assumed the fridge would just be 240v.

Ok you have the early pop top with the cool interior.
..and it's a 2 way fridge, my bad.
So back to you original question
Yes if you use an transformer capable of supplying 15 amps then you can switch it over to 230v
However I would say that's an expensive solution

Does the fridge not run on gas then?

It is meant to run on gas but not tried it and I wont be able to test it for a year or so. I wanted 240v mainly because I am planning to install a Propex so conscious that will use a fair amount of gas. With the cooking as well I thought might be better for 240v when on sites to reduce the gas use.

get a underfloor tank, then the gas is lots cheaper , paying for installing hook up and paying for the electric ..... will pay for its self in no time.....

If I got an underfloor tank is it easy to fill? Cost much to install?

Tbh I didn't realize you can get them unless it's part of LPG system.

yes, its just instead of having a expansive bottle of gas in the van, and you just refill with autogas at the petrol station that sells lpg

where as camping gaz 907 bottles are about £22 for 2 litres of gas, roadfuel is about 55p per litre

Would I need this professionally installed etc like an LPG tank? Any idea of prices or where I can get this done?

I thought these tanks had to be inside a vehicle?

Does anyone have any images of a underfloor tank fitted to a T25?

Cheers

Most westys have these tanks fitted.


Just a thought, if you're hooked up, why would you need a gas heater, and you'd be boiling kettles with hooky, the fridge basically sips gas.
Changing to a 3.9kg red bottle (propane) would be sufficient to run two burners and a fridge for ages!
