Our motor home fridge wasnt happy on butane but this may have been due to
the move by the manufacturers to a single pressure regulator for both
propane and butane. This meant that it ran €œrich€� on butane and sooted up.

That's not a typical setup. Most low pressure appliances operate at
28/29 mbar with butane and 37 mbar with propane with the appropriate
regulator.


Its a common setup in newer motor homes. A single pressure bulkhead
mounted regulator with high pressure hose(s) to the cylinder(s).

The regulator has some sort of impact detection built in to cut off gas as
well as a €œhigh flow€� cut off in the event of a large low pressure leak.

Ive had caravans with the conventional different regulators for different
gasses. My motor home was the first €œdual fuel€� regulator that Id come
across and also the first time Id had issues with running a fridge on
butane.

Isnt progress wonderful? ;-)

I'm surprised. I live and learn.

I guess progress doesn't have to be forward!
