Just want to see how many people who use gas to run there fridge, was thinking of disconnecting the gas, so we can get a full annexe, i would rather have a full annexe than to run a gas fridge,plus there is the option of a generator or solar.

I think you will find unless you show it as being 12/240 only (i.e. Waeco or Engel) they won't do it. Ultimately it is their gas licence, insurance and ass on the line.

12V when free camping would be hefty! You would need a massive battery to keep it running during the night, and a massive panel or generator to run it and charge battery through the day.
The 12V circuit also has no thermostat and draws around 15A constant!

Same for us. We use our gas when free camping. Our battery would be chewed up if running the fridge constantly.
Have you guys read this?

I use gas when free camping and 240v when it's available.
My 14.44-5 OB has the fridge and HWS on the offside so I have no issues with the implementation of the gas flueing requirements.

I am reading many posts regarding this annex problem, however my dealer in Adelaide has said it is only jayco who have made this blanket rule. He put me on to their adelaide annex dealer who said it is not a problem getting an annex fitted to my 1756 2 van so long as there is a warning saying not to use the annex when the gas is on and i sign something to say i understand this. I pick up the caravan this Monday, the annex people rang me yesterday to say it had all been fitted and is ready.
We getting the 17:56-2 as well. Hubby said we will just use has when we are free camping. Anyone else doing the same?
We are doing the same. it was suggested we get the scenic windows on front side and back of annex in case we do decide to have annex up whole fridge is on gas for ventilation. Sounds like a good idea to me as it still encloses an area but has adequate ventilation.
Yep. I only use gas on my fridge when free camping.
Although I don't have an annexe so it doesn't really bother me at this stage.

I am a bit confused by all this no annex crap because of the gas outlet!! I have gas heaters in my house you can buy them anywhere and who says my house has an adequate opening? My Stove is gas? I dont leave a window or door open when I cook. And if the annex had some small mesh openings in it whats the issue there? hard to really make an annex air tight anyway. Sounds to me like a desk junky forgot his pills one day:hippie:. Sorry just seems a bit dumb just put vents in it Easy. Sorry for rant

You don't live in victoria then, un flued gas heaters are not allowed. I have two lpg non flued gas heaters in my house. I mainly use slow combustion wood heater but the gas doe the shoulder season and is easier. I am still kicking.
