I had a NorCold 12v fridge in a Dodge van I owned.   It kept me awake,
despite many attempts to shut the thing up...  In a quiet camp, that thing
would cycle on and bother me.   I might be weird but I really do not go
camping to listen to mechanical noises, be they the neighbor's generators,
someone's favorite Moodie Blues tape, or my own electric refrigerator
cycling on and off...

   I can hear the flame in my Dometic, too...but it's quite faint and it is
a steady fluttery sound...We also have a pop top slide in truck camper with
a nasty noisy heater...I hate that thing, but my S.O. loves the heat..

  Before you swap out a Dometic propane you should listen closely to those
electric ones...and imagine what that will sound like to you when you are
out on a very still night somewhere far from the noisy world...
