Propane & battery questions

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow hook up a regular 20lb propane tank to the Westy gas system?  Last time I had it filled, the person filling the tank told me I could probably get an adaptor, but didn't really know.<br><br>The second question involves the "mode" switch on the fridge:  is it replaceable?  My fridge only seems to want to work on 12VDC.  When plugged into house 110VAC it doesn't seem to work, eventhough all the knobs and switches are on the proper settings.<br><br>Any help is appreciated.<br>

No one's ever tried to adapt a 20lb tank to a Westy?

yes you can,first thing thou is to go to a gas supply house for the ACME thread filler . then you can adappt to the tank ,the only big problem is that there will be no liquid propane for the long time use.the OEM tank can last more than 4 days using the fridge and stove .

I saw an adapter sold by rv stores where you can hook a regular propane tank up to your westy propane tank system to provide extra propane or to run an external gas grill. The kit was @ $50.00.
