Re: [A/S] I finally got one!



Wow, that *really* is neat!
 
< I had never had a three way...always a two way. But I
 figured if I am getting a new one I would check out
 the options.  I take it the 12 volt doesn't do the
 job.  According to the PO the original frig works on
 electric just fine.  For some reason he could not get
 the gas to light.  The last thing I want to have
 happen is to have it fixed and then have it go kaput
 in the middle of a trip.>>

You know, I never use the gas when I'm on a trip.... I am always hooked up to 
electric when I'm not driving and have no problems. If you shut the doors and 
don't open them til you get plugged back in you don't need the gas at all. My 
ice cubes stay frozen, have never had food go bad....

If you plan to boondock or drive for 20 hours at a time you will need gas 
though.  It could be something simple like the thermocoupler (sp?) 

< before I buy a new one.  How many of you out there are
 still running refrigerators that are over 20 years old? >>

The Dometic fridge in my 1973 Arogosy MH was still working fine when I sold 
it four years ago.
