I'm a slow learner. Trying to figure out why the Vanagon list archive search didn't find the messages that had "Dometic" "frig" "fridge" "level" in them-- I read the HELP and learned that searching for "Dometic fridge" will only hit on those with the two words "close" together. To find messages containing two words that may not be close, use "and" as in "Dometic and level"--bingo!

After ~15 years on this list, and using the archive search many times, I just learned something new-- and important.
