Todd,

 I found that my green light that indicates the fridge
is lit does not fuction.  I was unable to see that the
pilot light lit unless it was dark in the van.  Since
the sun has set try again, and pump the primer 30-40
times before You try and light it. It worked for me.

Good luck,

Todd 88 Westy
