Volks- The OE Dometic 182B fridge was pulled from the van, cleaned & serviced this week. Ran super COLD at the shop on propane. I brought her home and tried to fire up the fridge on propane this afternoon. (Yes, the valve was on, the burners on the stove lighted). No dice. I have to admit, I got a bit pissed off. Plugged the damn thing in on 110V and went in to have dinner. Bear in mind I have read all available online posts on how to start these things, ad nauseum. Post-prandials, I went out to the van to try again. 110V had lowered the temp nicely, so I knew it was working. First try, it started on propane. Go figure. Question: 1.Is it because it was dark and I could see the LED? or 2. Because I pre-cooled the fridge on 110V. I will be on my maiden voyage tomorrow (and my trusty mechanic will be in tow, how lucky am I?). But I'd really like this fridge to work. After all, I dumped an '81 for this....
