BL> Why didn't you use gas for the frig?

DD> Gas fridges are no where near as effective in warm climates.

 Why not? I know they're not as efficient, but why not just use a
larger evaporator? Do you actually want to freeze things?

DD> Originally I was looking for a kero fridge but you cannot buy
DD> those this side of Papua these days. 

 (grin) I'll admit that the last one I saw was a Silent Knight back
in the 1960's.

 It gets pretty hot at Singleton in the bush, but it worked, and
LPG uses the same principle.

DD> With a 12V fridge, my gas and kero requires for the next 10 -
DD> 15 years will be minimal. 

 A gas bottle in the back fo the car is a big deal? Or are you
thinking Survivalist?

 Personally, I find survivalism amusing. The plan is to survive a
nuclear attack or an invasion of the Purple Brain Suckers (whatever)
long-term, but they all use hi-tech to make it work. Gas and kero is
dead easy compared to building new gelcells or rewinding the windmill 
generator when the old ones die on you.
