Camper Propane System help

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum and glad to be here!

I'm lending my 79 T2 to a friend this weekend for her first camping trip in California. I've gotten everything ready for them, but, I'm having a hard time getting the propane system to work. I've scoured all my usual resources, but none of them cover how the propane system. The previous owner said it should work, so I'm probably just missing something basic. Is there anyone in the SF area who'd be willing to chat with me on the phone, or take a look at it and help me trouble shoot?

Thanks!

-Leslie

I can't say with certainty, but am pretty sure that there's nothing really special about how the propane system works in a VW camper compared to any other camper with a propane system. That is, I'd bet that any decent RV place would be able to take a look at it and tell you what's wrong with it at least, though when it comes to fixing it they may have trouble finding certain parts.

Otherwise, while not especially local, GoWesty surely handles more VW propane units than anyone else in the country and might be worth a call--contact info here.
