OK that just does not make sense. Gas and LPG are the same??? So 12 volt, 110 v or propane it does not work well?
Re: dometic 7030 derek 8-28-09  
Wow i should proof read better. (sorry) it will cool OK on 110v the gas does not seem to cool that well. on gas the tubes in the back of the fridge gets pretty warm were as 110v it does not. however it cools better on 110v
Re: dometic 7030 BUBBA THE BUS TECH 8-28-09  
Ok rule of thumb, it should cool better and quicker on LPG. You need to look at the flame and ensure it is the correct size and a nice blue colour. Next the tin tube the flame burns at the bottom of should be clear. I have seen the flame will be flickering and the heat not going up the tube when this is blocked. Usually as part of the check on a poor performance fridge I just blow the centre of the tube out with compressed air. Finally check to see the vent above the fridhe at the back to the roof is clear. Good Luck

Thanks i found the flame to be weak and lots of rust in the tube blew it all out and it seems to be fine thanks
