Agree that sand is not ideal but salt seems like it would be easy enough to empty and then flush with water to dissolve remaining crystals.

Tight bends using salt

I'm installing a new gas line too with multiple bends because new fridge has the fitting pointing in a different direction from the old one. After watching many YouTube videos showing how to make...

Thanks to everyone for your replies.

The takeaway is that while many owners of older 3-way rv refrigerators have good experience running on propane without 12 volt draw, the trend in new products...

Agreed. The ability to run exclusively on gas has great appeal to some of us but this feature has been largely phased out by manufacturers.

Propane refrigerator that can run with no 12v?

Contrary to trend, we enjoy running our 1980 Trillium Jubilee on propane for stove, fridge and heat and with minimal electric power for lights and fan only.

Removable axle

Here is an example of converting from welded-in to bolt-in axle. In my case, this was part of a 15' Trillium Jubilee structural rehab where the rear half of the frame sagged causing body damage. But...
