Folks

I have a 3 way fridge in my LHD Westy.

I used the gas to chill the fridge on a campsite than used the buttons to swtich over to battery for the drive home - forgot to turn the gas supply off. Got hom, emptied the van and left it for a week - came out to find the fridge still running off gas - even though the battery button was depressed.

Question - is the only way t kill the gas funtoin of the fridge to turn the gas off?

I would have thought that putting the gas control knob to 0 would do it.

Could be, the gas is controlled by a thermocoupling thingy, never tried because the instructions say not to run the fridge on two power supplies at once

I usually have all the gas knobs turned off while travelling anyway, as I have a small check list of things on the back of the drivers sun visor.

That's not a bad idea,

1. Roof vent is closed.
2. ....

2. Are all the kids present.

3.disconnect the hook up.

4. (For Syncroandy) Disconnect LPG hose.

Mine is:

Hookup
Gas
Fridge
Roof Vents
