My Dometic refrigerator failed to ignite on propane one time, and that was recent.  In preparation for the long trip we made this summer, I filled up with propane from a vendor I have never used before.  Since I had recently checked the system, including the refrigerator, I considered all ok, and left for the trip the next day.

When we made the first stop, for lunch, the refrigerator would not fire up on propane.  If we stop for longer than 15 minutes when traveling, I usually switch the refrigerator to propane to keep everything cool.  I checked it periodically that day, and it still would not start when we stopped for the night -- consequently we paid for an A.C. hookup at Clayton State Park, NM.  The next day, and unfailingly for the next three weeks, the refrigerator fired up quickly every time.

The first time we used the stove on the trip, one burner seemed to be starved, as the flame would only burn at a low level when on high.  The next time, it fired right up properly and never gave a bit of trouble again.

Thoughts on this from the list?  I intend to clean the burners on the stove and the refrigerator, but honestly can't imagine that they are dirty.  I cleaned the refrigerator up when I got the camper three years ago.  'Twasn't really very dirty, and fired up fine before I cleaned it, as well as after.
