So i've been driving my bus as a westy for almost a year now (A year on
August 10th), and 6000 miles in the last 2 months.....And my fridge has been
plaguing me as some of you remember.
I made sure the pipes were strait, I made sure the seals were sealed, I made
sure the flue was cleaned, and on my trip from PA to Reno NV My fridge would
stay lit inconsistantly but tended to blow out when driving 75+ MPH.
Anyway, today I think I found a reliable enough symptom to try to
diagnose.....
I can't get the fridge to blow out at all while driving if it's not on "FULL
CHILL". When I have it on the full chill mode, it tends to blow out, but as
soon as I turn the knob just a bit down (at night), I see the flame get
smaller and hear the click, and it becomes impervious to harsh driving
conditions (I threw 400 miles on it over the last 2 days with a total
elevation change of over 7000 feet and some 80-85mph runs).
Any thoughts?
Sincerely,
Craig
