Re: [SilverStreak] New Refridgerator



Tom,
Sure you can. Everybody does. Keep away from pump while fueling. Propane on 
a fridge lasts forever. Few people by a 3 way. I lamented, but after talking 
to really experienced folks like Tom Patterson, I bought the 2 way just like 
you and I am glad I did. By the way, nothing is going to work without that 
little battery feeding the 12 volts. Just get a couple of wires and a car 
battery, watch that polarity, and plug the thing in the wall. It'll cool 
sitting in your garage.

When you get to the RV park, Just plug in your coach. All is automatic. Same 
when you leave. All automatic and nothing to switch or to do. You will love 
your new fridge. The little gel cell batteries are a dark charcoal grey. You 
have seen them, but just don't remember right now.

Go ahead and install the fridge now. There is lot's of room to put in the 
battery and connect after a complete installation. New fridge is better and 
safer. Make sure your chimney above fridge is open and not leaking. The 
fridge needs no fan behind it in the hole. The open lower louver door and 
roof vent creates a great chimney effect.

All is well. Just cook up that thar 'Possum Stew, connect the fridge and get 
her chilled down overnight, and put the stew in thar. Enjoy!
