<snip> Just so far have not gotten my fridge lit on propane <snip>

When I first got my '85 Westy the fridge hadn't been used for years.  I
removed the little drain cap, inside under the fridge, and found it
plugged solid with rust.  I opened it up with a straightened coat hanger
and blew through it to clean it out.  I then removed the flue cover
assembly from the outside of the van, exposing the exhaust and intake
openings, and used a shop vac on each one repeatedly.  I could hear a
rattling in the vacuum hose until the rust and junk was evacuated from
the burn chamber.  After that, the fridge lit right up and has worked
well since (4 years).

I use a group 41 starting battery as an aux battery which powers the
inside lights, stereo, cigar lighter, emergency flasher and stop lights,
and currently the fridge but I never use the fridge on 12 volts when camped.

Right now the aux battery is connected through the original fridge relay
but my plan is to install a better setup such as the Intellitec battery
disconnect relay such as can be seen at
http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-converters/002733.htm , or a
Surepower 1315 such as can be seen at
