Re: [A/S] Towing w/LP Gas Fridge Running ?
Some of the newer Airstreams have a problem maintaining an LP flame while
under tow. My 1999 had this common "flame out" problem and I had it addressed
while still under warranty. The factory built an aluminum shield about six
inches high in front of the burner.
Another fix is to use a "cut to fit" furnace filter (I got mine at Home
Depot) It is about 3/8 in. thick and looks to be made from compressed plastic
strings. I use it behind the refrigerator access compartment door while
towing. Never had a flame out while using it, even before the Airstream installed
"shield".
