Any solutions for high altitude refrigerator issues?

We have recently been using our Lance camper at some higher altitudes- 7500 ft and above (to escape summer heat) and many nights are woken up by the beeping of the fridge because it can't re-ignite on...

Thanks.


Can you hear the ignitor clicking away. If so, it may be just a problem with the position of the electrode relative to the gas flow.

Our Dometic in the BigFoot works perfectly at up to 14,200 feet but gets progressively more unreliable as the altitude goes up above that.
