... and I leave for vacation in two days.
OK, so this past weekend I learned how to use the fridge, stove, water tank
etc. on my newly acquired '89 Westie. I was able to get the fridge to start
on propane ONCE (the light came on and it ran fine for a couple of hours
until I shut it down), but for the past couple of days, I've not had any
luck getting it to fire up. Things I tried:
- running the fridge on A/C: works great
- filling up the propane tank: it took 35 cents worth
- starting up the stove: works great
- running the stove for a couple of minutes before attempting to start the
fridge (the manual says you might want to do this to remove any air from
the lines)
- attempting to start the fridge while the stove is burning
- patiently attempting numerous times the following:
- setting 3-way switch to propane
- turning on propane outside the van
- turning rightmost dial to 12 o'clock (from 3 o'clock)
- setting temp control to max
- pumping leftmost switch 15-20 times (also tried 25-30 times)
- holding safety button for 30 seconds while pushing in leftmost
switch all the way
Am I forgetting something? I'm starting to panic about this.
