Back to the saga of our strangely  malfunctioning Dometic Fridge.  As you may
recall a few weeks ago I posted  a message asking for advice on what could be
the problem with my  fridge. Propane service working, fire on, flue hot but
NO COOLING !   On 110 service all was fine.  Back in Sayulita I was about to
pull it out  when due to our "nice" neighbours pulling our 110 service out at 10
pm I turned  on the propane service for the night and hoped for the best.  In
the  morning the fridge was nice and cold. Yahoo !  So, therefore decided to
not  pull the fridge.  It has been working flawlessly since then, shutting
propane service off when in camp with 110 service and restarting the propane
service when on the road and in dry camps.  What the problem was, I have no
idea.  To all those that asked to be informed of the solution, sorry, I  have
none.  Just run it on 110 for a while then try the propane service  again and
maybe, just maybe you'll be lucky too !  Cervazs have been nice  and cold so no
problemo !

    Heading south out of Acapulco today towards Puerto  Escondido !
