Default Running 2 x camp fridges off one gas bottle

Well I was always told use separate regulators, but this was back in my
youf, so to speak. Maybe things have been made better now. Its odd that you
really are not encouraged to do gas piping at home yourself but nobody seems
to care what you do on bottled gas systems?

Hi All,

I currently use a gas fridge when I go camping.

This year we will need 2. Is it feasible to run 2 fridges of one (Calor
Butane) bottle?

Or do I need one bottle and regulator per fridge?

Can't see why it should not work. The consumption must be relatively low.

A quick google shows plenty of pre-regulator tees for a single bottle,
presumably not what you want. Do you feel competent to make up your own
to tee three hoses together? Many boat/caravan users must have cooker +
heater + fridge. Or do people typically have a separate regulator for
each?


No, a single regulator seems to be able to flow enough gas for fridge,
oven
gas hob and heating simultaneously in my experience and this wasn't a
special "high flow" one.

Our motor home fridge wasn't 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 "rich" on butane and sooted
up.
