FIXED Dometic RM 2310 needs repair to run on propane
This unit is in my 1997 Xplorer 230XL. I have used it 63 nights so far this year. While in FLA Feb & Mar I mostly boondocked and had it on propane. I could only get the piezo lighter to work twice. Not sure if it's the gap or needs a new part. So most of the time to light it I opened the side and removed the burner cover to see the burner. Then while pressing the propane button on the front I would reach around the outside with a long lighter. Once lit it would run for weeks until I switched to electric or 12 volt.
Back In MI on Easter I tried to light it that way ANd cold not seem to get the inside propane button to go all the way in. I pushed so hard the whole fridge unit seemed to move out 1/4-1/2" or so. The end of the burner compartment has rusted off & just lays on the bottom. But it worked fine that way in FLA. Luckily I was able to plug in to electric & it worked fine. It also worked fine on 12 volt while driving. It does seem like it might not be lined up correctly with the interior push rods.
I hope AN RV shop can fix this. I do not want to replace it with a newer model which all have electronic controls and draw house battery power while on propane. Most of my time is boondocking.
Any thoughts?
