Ed.

Alistair probably notes this but if the fridge has been removed and re
installed, make sure the intake/exhaust manifold is "square" to the body
before re installing the flue parts; that manifold tends to get misaligned
when removing, re installing the fridge which can result in a poor seal
between the manifold and flue parts and possibly cause the small bolts
holding flue to manifold to cross thread during install. The manifold is
aluminum.

This link should take you to the Dometic 182 service manual. It also has
diagrams including one for the flue IIRC
