also it takes a good 12hrs or more to cool down these rv frig units. then load with cool or frozen goodies. my money is the burner needs a good cleaning. there not hard to do, just not much room to get it out of the hole.
Tell me about it. I have to physically remove the screws holding the upper louvered vent and then take a putty knife and pop it off the butyl tape before I can access my flue baffle and then clean the tape off and replace it and screw down the louvered vent again. A real PITA.
Not something that needs regular cleaning but it does need to be addressed every few years (depending on how much you run on propane).... I usually run 110 shore powered and propane when camping with no hookups. The 110 heating element isn't as efficient as the propane either. There is around a 50 degree temperature difference between the 110 heater and the propane, with propane being hotter and the hotter the boiler runs, the better the cooling is.
