[A/S] Dometic Refer Flame out



an FYI for everyone.
I had a new Dometic Americana 2-way refer installed late last winter in my 
'77 31ft Sovrereign. the moment I drove away the gas would blow out. In the 
Blue Beret a service builiten was meantioned re: a baffle assembly. 
I stopped to schedule an appt with Dometic at the Sarasota Rally. the guy was 
so nice. He said getting a tech to do this mod would be quite expensive. 
He said to get a furnace filter at Home Depot, not the dense type, but more 
the standard fibreglass type. cut it to size and place it on the inside of 
the door. this will allow airflow, but not gusts of wind! Works GREAT. no 
more flame out. Total cost 2.50!
