Refrigerator & High Altitude
I've got a Dometic 2852RBX that works ok most of the time, but when I had it at 9,750' last year it kept going out and wouldn't relight. It would try, but I'd come back after being gone for awhile, or...

Thanks for all the help guys!
Cleaned everything out and found what looked like a small, thicker hair inside the jet, kinda stuck to the tapered portion. It was only about 1/4" long, but I used a pick to dislodge it and it fell out.
Started to reinstall and noticed that, in order to have the opening of the gas line/jet assembly lined up with the opening that leads to the burner, it would be angled upwards. I was like hmmm. So I looked at the pics I took before disassembly and sure enough, thats how it was. I rectified the alignment and now it is aiming straight at the opening to the burner.
Once I got the air out of the line (I previously installed my new regulator cuz I figured it couldn't hurt) it seems better than before! Its always had a bit of a struggle lighting. Now, it lights on first spark. I've tried it 3x....even after letting it sit for about 1/2 hour. Instant light!
I don't know if I've fixed it or even improved it, but it seems like I've at least accomplished the latter.
