Re: [VAL] gas light

Joe,
I don't know which trailer your talking about but the gas light was very 
popular in
the fifties and early sixties before they really had 12v lighting.  A 
lighting trick they
used to do was remove a 120v  bulb from one of the trailer light fixtures,  
screw in a 6v or 12v house hold size bulb (depending on the voltage of the tow 
car)  and plug into an extension cord with battery clamps on the car battery.  

Its nice having a gas light so that you can boondock without running down 
your batteries or for emergencys.  They do put out a lot of heat which is great 
in chilly weather but can be rough on a summer's eve without a breeze.  Be sure 
to have
a roof vent open and a window cracked and it should be just as safe over 
night on low as running any other gas appliance.
