OK, don't ask me how, but I went out there to work on it today after work and it just started working! So now the gas valve stays open when the clicking stops. So I will let it run all night and see how well it cools the fridge.
Now on to my next problem with this camper, the hot water heater. I had to install a new pilot light burner tube & thermocouple. There was not one on the water heater because someone removed the old ones. I light the pilot burner manually with a long grill lighter. And the thermocouple does open the main gas tube. But it seems the pilot light tube is not in the right spot to light the main tube. The pilot light tube sits a little behind the end of the main gas tube. Should it be sitting more past the end of the main tube so the pilot flame will light the gas coming out of the main tube??? I'm not saying in front of the main tube. I'm saying on the side of the main tube but past the end of it. Any thoughts? I will make a separate post for this problem.
Thanks again everyone!
