A Stupid Question Regarding Gas Fridges

Once a gas fridge is fired up does it need the electrical system to be on?

I ask because:

1. I don't know...

2. On our Autotrail the bathroom light is always on when the electrics are on and it gets on my pip at night!

 

This leads onto a secondary question. Why is there no off switch for my bathroom light or is it hidden somewhere to keep it away from the water... and if so where might it be?

 

Cheers

Andy

Yes it's perfectly fine to sleep in a motorhome with a gas fridge running.  You could always fit a carbon monoxide alarm to be on the safe side.

From what I can remember from our 2005 Tracker the washroom light switch is tucked up underneath the cupboard to the left as you go in the door.

Thanks for the replies.

After groping about in the washroom I found the switch hiding up under the towel rail. My better half, who is vertically challenged and thus has a better view of the underneath of things, said "Oh that switch, I wondered what it was for". Words were had and there was no more groping...
