Re: [A/S] Dometic Fridge Repair?



Amonia fumes will not kill you instantly .Neather willmost fumes that occer 
in a trailer . but rember anything other than pure air is harmful to your 
health. In my 50 years in industry I have breathed in asbestus dust, styrene 
fumes .acetone. mek. and many other things too numerious to mention. I smoked 
for 45 years before I quit. Iam still alive but not nearly as healthey as if 
I had known how harmeful some of that stuff was. A little bit here and a 
little bit there can add up.For that very reason I am converting my trailer 
to all electric.no more gas fumes from the range. the catlic heater is gone 
the gas water heater is gone. heat is supplied from a heat strip in the AC 
the range has been replaced with a dual fule 2 burner hot plate (alcholand 
electric. built in microwave. elect fridge and freezer.On the road power is 
supplied with a Diesel generator mounted on the toungh. When full hookups are 
avalablePower should be no provlem. When boondocking all comforats will be at 
hand. Diesel was chosen because my tow truck is diesel and when necessary I 
can syphon fule from the truck.
