Interesting.  Why would the new gas be a problem?  Yes, I did just fill the
tank.  I did turn the burners on but only for a few seconds.
I will try all the advice that was given.
Thanks,
Zoltan

1.  Is there propane in the tank?  2.  Is the line valve open (under the
van)?  3.  Is the condensate drain (under the fridge on the van floor) open?
4.  Did you puff air through the condensate line?  5.  Did you recently fill
the tank with propane?  Then light the stove for a few minutes, then try the
fridge again.
