Fridge Not Staying Lit on Propane
I have a 12 year old Norcold N811FRT that refuses to stay lit on propane. It fires up with what appears to be a nice flame, the igniter click-click-clicks and starts to glow red. However, it doesn't proof the flame and times out after about 15 seconds. What I have done so far: Replaced the old rusted out burner and orifice, cleaned the igniter and connector, solenoid valve, gas line and flu. The solenoid coil measures 81 ohms. the valve intake filter was disintegrated to black powder inside the valve. The furnace and 3 stove burners burning all at once work fine so I ruled out the regulator. Is there a way to test the igniter and control board without swapping it out? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks On Edit: When this started a few months ago I could initially cool it down on electric, switch to propane the next day and it would stay lit. Now that doesn't work. I believe that may be a noteworthy clue.419Views0likes1CommentRe: Ok to run shore power without battery?
I have a WFCO 8935 that was boiling my batteries. The camper has been plugged in 24/7 with the battery disconnected for over a year without issue. I'll connect the battery if I need to open/close the slides or operate the landing gear.2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Share your favorite

And the "garage" is a great place to get together if the weather goes south AND the roof is pretty tall. Mine has two fold downs for the dinette and a nice sleeper sofa/couch that is comfortable. ( I had them reupholstered and new foam) X2 on a toy hauler. That may be my next camper and I won't be hauling toys854Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water pump

If you are not aware the fuses have two windows located at the end of each blade where you can check that current if flowing through without unplugging the fuse. Set your meter on Volts DC and at the fuse panel poke the positive lead into the window and the negative lead into a ground point. Check both windows on each fuse. You should get the same voltage on each. You can probe across the fuse. If it measures a voltage the fuse is blown. If it measures 0V or close to it the fuse is good.966Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire Advice

And if they are, and haven’t been constantly beat by the sun in the desert or some equally as destructive treatment, then buy one tire to replace the blowout. And I’d buy an E rated tire because, why not? I agree with the above except, if you have 3 good GY Endurance replace the 1 tire with the same. The Endurance has a heavy, thick, stiff side wall that doesn't flex as much. A cheaper tire would behave differently. I rode on Endurances for 6 years. I had to run them at 70psi to keep them from bouncing. I replaced them with cheap Contenders. I can run them at 80psi with no bounce870Views0likes0CommentsRe: What happens when you overfill tanks.....
My gray tank is full when the shower no longer drains. My black tank is full when the toilet burps when I flush. My gray fills up long before the black. I put a valve on the main drain pipe where you connect the drain hose. With that valve closed I open the gray valve, wait a few second, then open the black valve to move some gray water to the black tank. Then close both valves. That gets me at least another shower before to the dump we go.571Views0likes0Comments
