> It's "normal" for the fridge to blow out during driving. I disagree. I had my '87 Dometic running for me from when I bought it in '01 until a year ago when I replaced it with a Vitrifrigo. My standard operating procedure was to light the fridge on propane before I left home and leave it running until I got back--one or two weeks later. Propane the whole time. The only time the fridge went out on the highway was a situation like on US 191 N of Moab: strong cross wind and a semi passes in the other direction. There is a big air shock--my ears feel it. That would put the fridge flame out. Otherwise, it stayed on. I don't know how yours is different from mine, but you can have a Dometic that stays light on the highway 99% of the time. In those years, I pulled my fridge several times to clean the flame box, the orifice, etc. No parts were missing from the vent setup, etc. Richard
