❄️ Cold Weather Propane Tip – This One Matters ❄️

When temps drop into the sub-zero danger zone, your propane system plays by different rules—and low tanks lose.

🔥 Why keeping your propane tank ABOVE ½ full matters in extreme cold:

• Propane doesn’t “burn” as a liquid—it has to boil into a v***r first
• The colder it gets, the harder propane boils
• The less liquid propane in the tank, the less surface area available to v***rize
• Result?
👉 Weak furnace flame
👉 Appliances shutting down
👉 Regulator icing
👉 Or worse… no heat when you need it most

🥶 A tank at ¼ full might be fine in October.
🥶 In January? It’s basically asking for trouble.

✅ Rig Ready Rule of Thumb:
If you’re camping, storing, or living in your RV during freezing or sub-zero temps—refill at ½ tank, not empty.

💡 Bonus tip: Dual-tank setups aren’t immune. If one tank runs low, cold weather can still overwhelm the system before the regulator switches.

Bottom line:
Cold doesn’t forgive shortcuts. Keep your propane topped off and your rig warm.

Norcold, a well-known RV refrigerator company, has filed for bankruptcy in Delaware. They say they owe more than 300 million dollars. This doesn’t mean they’re shutting down right away, but it does mean big changes are coming. For RV owners, that could affect how easy it is to get parts, repairs, or warranty service for Norcold fridges.

Norcold has been around since 1959 and became famous for propane-powered “absorption” fridges—the kind that run on LP gas or electricity. They were great for off-grid RV use, but they’ve had problems over the years, including recalls, lawsuits, and reports of fires. Add in new technology and competition from compressor-style fridges (like the ones in homes), and Norcold has struggled to keep up.

If you have a Norcold fridge, here’s what you should do:
Keep it running safely by cleaning it, keeping it level, and checking for leaks or ammonia smells. If your fridge is already failing, don’t wait for parts to get harder to find. Many RV owners are switching to compressor-style conversions. These upgrades cool faster, don’t need propane, and work better in hot weather.

If your Norcold is still under warranty, file any claims right away. Bankruptcy can delay or cancel warranty support later.

This news may mark the end of an era for propane RV fridges. The newer compressor models use less power, are easier to maintain, and don’t rely on propane or a company that’s struggling to stay afloat.
