Camper newbie, Dometic 461 issues..

Hi all,

Ive owned my first camper for a couple months now.. a creampuff 84 8.5" Vanguard..

On our inaugral trip a month ago, everything worked great, ran the fridge on the two 20lb lpg tanks for 4 days.. Had to turn it down from ~4-5 as it was freezing our food.. and it cooled right down quickly (3 hours or so of driving and it was good)..

Got it home, turned off the tanks, emptied the fridge and that was it..

Started our second trip this weekend.. Got to the site and took about 5 minutes to get the fridge to light.. and after a few hours it was still warm.. Did some research and discovered about levelling.. So went to the local lumber yard and picked up a torpedo level and a few chunks of 2x8..levelled the truck (from freezer pan), relit the fridge and tried again.. Still warm..

Pulled the outside cover, have a nice clean blue flame in the centre of the stack, the coil zigzag of tubing at the back is hot for all but the top zag which is only slightly warm, the straight down tube behind back down into the bottom canister -was- cool to the touch earlier, now its room temp at the top..

Any suggestions i can try, have already had to throw out some food, hopin to save the rst of the trip :)

Thanks,

Cakes..
