Hello,
It has come to my attention there is a possible safety problem.
On my coach the bottom of the cabinet that the fridge sits on is several inches below the outside vent. Being as LP gas is heavier than air, this means if you had a leak, it would build up in that space between the vent and the base of the fridge....
Not sure if this topic has been mentioned previously.
Solution is fit several drain holes into the wheel well. This would help the gas escape to the outside. This is a problem i sm looking into as i am rebuilding the fridge cabinet. I may alter the height of the fridge base so it is level with the bottom of the fridge vent. Otherwise drill some round holes and fit with pvc pipe, so it goes through into the wheel well. what are your thoughts on this potential safety issue ????
cheers and beers
