Louise:

The "electric" pilot light is key to me -it is
above the unit and has a little toggle
switch turning it and an indicators for
water levels and maybe battlery power?

A first start sucks but after it is gooing
you can shut her down for gas fill ups and
re-start in no time.

I keep my unit on high and it runs A-1 on
the highway.

To start the propane you need patience
(period) plus this advice and that little
green pilot light. Forget that hole inside
the fridge -I think it is a joke played on
both of us.

First turn on metalic toggle switch with
indicater lights for stove/water (above
unit and below sink) and remove fridge
door.

1-park the van where you can not be seen
- this process attracts attention.

2 -get a milk carton or little stood and sit
on it in front of unit- or put a towel on
floor and knee (use towel for crying into if
need be)

3. turn 3 way switch to propane

4. turn fridge to max

5 pump that little shit anout 50 times but
do not depress pump full distance this
fires spark.

6 press that thumb button for 10 secs

7 pull pump1/4 out and full in to fire
spark as fast as you can - may be 20
times or until hands gets sore.

8 watch that electric indicater light above
unit

9 when light goes on start pumping full
strokes - (but not in to fire) and keep
thumb on that button untill green
electric pilot light get very bright

10 if you get no "electic" light going on
stop and go to  step "5."

11 if after 5 mimutes or hands get sore
-turn your attention to other matter for 5
minutes and start again

BRASS PLUG
There is a brass plug in my "Domestic"
fridge that has a little chain on it. I
understood from the manual that it is
used to drain water from the unit in case
some gets in the vent.
