How about the ugliest "road fix" to a Dometic ever?

http://web.mac.com/tubaneil/iWeb/Site%205/FridgeVentPics.html

Believe it or not, the flame stayed lit after making/installing. Many
thanks to whoever posted the much nicer looking version!

Driving in **super** windy conditions was blowing flame out every time
I started driving after pulling over, and re-lighting.

("super windy" = driving only 80KM/hour because van won't go any
faster. On a level road too! Hell the head temps even got higher
because the engine had to work harder.....)
