Subject:      Fridge blows out while moving? Try this.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

Hey All,

Well, my fridge has a few hundred miles under its belt running on
propane while moving at all speeds, then one day, it starts to blow out.

I remembered I pulled the fridge a couple weeks ago, so I figured I
screwed something up putting it back in, and thought I'd pull it again
to double check.

Now, the first thing I do when pulling the fridge (and I am a pro now -
max 10 mins to pull it) is to disconnect the flue from the outside
(you'll only forget this once).

The flue  is, IMHO, a PITA to put on correctly, and as I was staring at
it pondering its removal, I realized that I had not put the center
"baffle" (separator, whatever) on flush with the exhaust pipe - it was
just at a small angle, so the pipe was not "sticking thought" it (or,
more properly, sitting flush).l I fixed it and low and behold, the
fridge no longer blows out.

Picky little thing...   ...JMM
