Fridge works on electric, but not on propane?

I searched the forums and was unable to get the answer I needed.
I have a dometic RM2190 dc/lpg. Camper is level.
The fridge works perfectly when using electric. When switched to propane it won't cool at all. The little pilot light works fine and stays lit best I can tell. Is there a secondary flame that's supposed to ignite?
Any ideas where to start with this problem?
Thanks, Vic

    Blew everything out real good, lit burner, freezer had frost on it in about 1 hour. I noticed the flame now seems stronger, almost sounds like a blow torch. Working like a charm, thanks all.

    The LINK provided above has good generic info.

    The little pilot flame IS the main flame.
    Typically when cools OK on electric and doesn't on propane with flame present to has to do with dirty burner, flue, flue baffle, provided other propane appliances function properly (good LP regulator---supply/flow)
