[a/s] Re: Does It Ever End?



Is there ever a time when there's nothing broken?  We are beginning to wonder!   Guess that's just wishful thinking. 
This past holiday weekend we had our refrigerator replaced at the Camping World in Nashville.  When we got to our campground up in Bowling Green, KY, and turned it on, it didn't cool.  My husband called the Camping World in that city, but they said they didn't have anyone to work on it.  So he called the Dometic factory, and after some discussion, the technician there said that there was too much dead space around the unit, and that it needed to be insulated.  We did that, and it then worked on gas but not electricity.  Yesterday, we returned to the Camping World in Nashville, and after a 2 hour wait, the technician there showed us that the installer had failed to plug in the frig!  He insulated it well, and after another 2 hour wait to check out the system, it now seems to be working fine! 
However......now we find that the hotwater heater is not always shutting off.  That means it sometimes overheats and releases the water outside.  We have the shutoff switch in the bathroom, but that doesn't always shut it off. We finally figured out to go outside and turn off the gas to the unit to get it to shut off.  Any ideas?
