You may  want to check the gas jet when  you get a chance to take out  the
fridge.  A year [ 25 hours of use? ] after  I had reinstalled  my fridge
[ temp gauge installation and burn chamber clean out ]

It  stopped getting cold [ if it lit...]

So I grudgingly took it all out  again

[ takes 1/2 the time the 3rd time round! :O( ]

And found a  new-formed carbon wad right on the gas jet

I am not sure if there is  such a thing as cruddy propane but

I had no other explanation. - After  clean out and reinstall..

Fridge was back to  normal.

Thomas, you may be right but I just had this fridge  out back in November
before I left on this trip and did a complete service  including cleaning the
jet.  I may take it out in a day or two in the next  campground we stop at.  I'll
let you all know what I find.
