Title: Propane AND 12 V
Post by: PITPOP27 on Feb 20, 2006, 05:40 PM

Sorry if this sounds completely imbelsilic-
Is there a way to have your fridge running on the propane and the pup (lights mainly and furnace) running on Batteries consecutively??

When we go to light the main propane for the fridge you have to choose propane on the selector. so does the battery just know to run the lights consecutively? So that pilot is just running the fridge right?

Then we have a pilot for hot water...which we failed to get lit but aren't stressing over, since we are meeting up with 10 other families (and figured we'll just gather the men around for a lighting ceremony, heehee).

So, reason I ask is when we were testing everything out and learning, we found out later in the day that the galley wasn't positioned right and that's why no lights in the pup, but I still don't know if they were just running because I had it turned to DC (or maybe it was AC....you get me) and the propane was off at that point.

So original question: Can you run propane for fridge and have Batt running, water pump, lights, and furnace?

(and no snickers in the backround, I can hear you!)

PS it's this ones first birthday today!

Happy 1st Darla!

Running the refrigerator on AC, DC or propane will not affect any other appliance or the lights in the PU. One appliance doesn't know what the other appliances are running on. Your furnace needs electric and propane to run. The heat is produced by the propane and the fan runs on battery power.:)

Have a great trip.:)

Except, only run the fridge on 12V while driving...because it won't stay very cold and will eat your battery for lunch.

Usae 120V (electric) or propane when stopped.
