Off-grid gas refrigerator install - uses propane

Keeping food fresh has been a challenge at the Shack, as an eski with ice only lasts a few days, and the solar battery car fridge is not working very well. I kept my eye out for a decent fridge out of a caravan, as I knew it would be able to run off LPG (propane) gas. I grabbed this one - now the challenge of installing it.
The fridge itself works great; keeps food cold, frozen stuff frozen, and even freezes water. We will run it off a normal gas bottle, with the 12v battery bank as backup, and could even run off the generator if we need to. A nice comfort to staying at the Shack. Thanks to Martin of 'TheNorthwoodsman1' channel for the inspiration.

Good job! Eggs don’t need to be refrigerated 💪🏽

You could cut a 2x4 and get out your car Jack. Putting the board up under the bar put it on the Jack and crank it up half inch. I use my Jack in kitchens to pop off stubborn countertops I take off and replace with new ones. Cheers from the States

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

Yes, that would have been easier! I did think of it later, but of course was already done.
Thanks for the comment Skip.

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

I noticed I didn't show how to start the fridge when using gas. I'll make a video on that shortly.

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

here it is - th-cam.com/video/ZIWvw6te0vg/w-d-xo.html

[@paulmellors8586]

I would say that very dangerous because there is no outlet for the gas fumes

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

Thanks Paul. There is a vent in the rear wall behind it, and the room we are in is very large and ventilated.

[@joshellis9863]

Did you have to vent the fridge at all? Thanks much.

[@georgemcfly7358]

You are supposed to. Also see he has batteries that aren't vented in the corner. He likes fumes I guess

[@clbpampuser7395]

Should be re titled guy measures space but still doesn't believe his tape measure.

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

Hah! Yeah - I was hoping the insulation layer around the fridge cabinet would compress a little, but no, had to change the bench rail. Thanks for watching.

@@TaralgaBushAdventure well thanks for not being to offended by my comment :)
