I got one ice tray with fridge but no shelving? Haven't bothered to date since fridge went out when I hit road but I now have the manual going to attempt to get it going for a upcoming trip. It worked well on ac and okay in drive on propane but four hours later at destination it was out. Lit it couple times at camp ground but continued to go out and eventually wouldn't light so bought bag of ice. The ice melted and soaked everything, so have to fix it or get good bag/box to hold ice and some shelves to keep things in place. I have been told most likely problem is leak in vent tubes. I had fridge removed and cleaned out 6 months ago when I first got vehicle because it wasn't working then. I have heard varying things about the fridges, from don't bother get some ice, work well when maintained to get a new model. What's the groups opinion? Input appreciated. Gary, I may have some shelves in the shop. I'll go look around this morning. Give me a call this aft, 613-256-6763. Your fridge may need a complete overhaul. You say it was removed and cleaned out recently. Did they service it properly, clean the burner and jet, bench test, verify for leaks in the intake/exhaust system, re-install it properly ?
