So I've always wondered why some of my friends on the boards here have such disdain for propane. I mean, I get it if you have a massive solar array and want to run your fridge with electricity, but.....
Forum Discussion
The topic is regarding RV propane use... and probably, most relative to full-timers or long haulers vs. weekend campers like me. I mentioned domestic home use as the impetus for my recent thoughts on the subject.
I have no plans to convert the ol' Onan to propane, but I am happy to run the furnace and fridge with it. 'Course... along with low, parasitic draws, that's one of the benefits of the '86 vintage rig; My fridge is one model previous to the recalled units.
Pianotuna was one of the guys I was referring to. He's not a propane fan. His explanation as to why makes a lot of sense.
Also, MrWizard would prefer to fill gas tanks rather than propane. He converted to an electric fridge, but for good reason; if it wasn't already, his old one, perhaps should have been recalled... before it exploded on him.
Otherwise, a well-built propane fridge is an awesome appliance, IMO. Very efficient.
