OP here and I appreciate the info and suggestions I've gotten so far. Yes, there is plenty of propane and it was on. The unit is sitting on a cement floor that is level. Yup, she is "worth it to us" what ever the "it" is. Our 18 year old has taken us from Florida to Alaska and from the E. to the W. coast and most points between. Never been wrecked, good tires kept on her, properly maintained, looks good on the outside and the inside. If the fridge is a goner she will get a new one. Now that the health issues are conquered, we are planning a trip. Any more suggestions? We do appreciate all your help. thanks, Nell in Texas
