Here's my two bits on the westy fridge, some of which I've just now figured
out:

The instructions on mine are a bit poor and unclear. It took me a while to
figure out, for example, that lever E, the furthest one on the right when
you open the fridge, should be in a vertical, or upright position.  The VW
manual says it should be ON, and the Domestic instructions from the
manufacturer, say it should be at the "I" setting. The only marking I have
on mine are at the 3 o'clock setting with an "o" next to a flame icon, which
would indicate that the knob should be horizontal (o for on?) for the gas to
flow. All the manual illustrations have this knob lying horizontal. Well,
after fitzing around for a while today. I realized in fact on my fridge,
this knob should be in the vertical position for the gas to flow.

Secondly, the little window at the bottom left of the fridge is almost
useless in mine.  I only discovered the flame was lit by accident, as I kept
pumping the A knob, I just happened to notice a bit of a glow as the flame
turned orange. But the normal "on" light, a tiny piddly little blue thing is
barely visible through the reflection of the little window. And the flame
indicator light below the water level lights never came on either. The
fridge eventually got cold though.

But, as in every such travail, I also learned about my fridge. I took the
vent apart and checked it for obstacles, checked the space behind and below
for other obstructions etc etc. I'm not entirely clear what the little brass
screw pipe thing is below the fridge on the left; some kind of condensation
outlet? I tried to blow through it but it's pretty plugged up. Is this
normal?

A somewhat seperate question: when we drain the sink, the water not only
comes out the bottom, but also the outside "city" receptacle on the side of
the van. This is normal I guess, but how can I stop it so that the waste
water only goes out the bottom, not the side?

Well that's my two bits (actually 37 cents canadian)
